Mrs P95 and I went off to a small gunshow this morning... nice drive, and just thought ''take a look'' ... . Was doing OK having got just some good value padded pistol cases (those zippered deals) ..... plus a lightweight 1911 trigger. Even resisted ammo .. no one had any 9x18.
One table tho kept pulling me back ... another M27-2 beckoned me.!! I kept telling myself, nope, didn't need an 8 3/8 barrel .357. Voiced my dilemma to Mrs who looked at it and admired - and promptly said ... ''well, if you like it why not get it''!! (doncha just love that!!)
Well, that did it. As some know, I obscess over N frames and this one was old enough to be well desirable (don't want late models). Timing seems very good, and all pointers suggest it is VERY ''low mileage''. Bolt drag lines are not too bad and bore and chambers immaculate. Still had original box, tho was fitted with the small grips......... I immediately changed those over to some old spare large ones I have.
Paid too much tho .. he wanted $465 .. ouch! Best he'd do was absorb the state tax and NIC's fee .... and hold that price, so .. small saving only (about $40 I guess)... $400 would have been better but ''want'' did I admit win the day.
Self discipline?? ... what's that??
