Okay, Total Recoil's "Did ya ever buy a cheap handgun" thread and Exbrit getting a great deal on a Colt made me think of starting a thread to ferret out those great buys that we all hear about on the 'net.
Did anyone here ever purchase a handgun for one-hundred dollars or less? If so, let's see 'em and tell us about 'em!
Here's mine.
Went to a local gun show this year (2016), walked around and this one table had some plastic-fantastic firearms on little stands with some pretty good pricing on them. Pocket carry type stuff. I wasn't interested, but there was this one revolver just below them. It had a dull finish on it but didn't look worn. I picked it up and asked what they wanted for it.
The guy on the other side of the table said, Oh, the Armi? Lemme check. He holds up the gun and asked the other guy, "How much?" To which the other guy said $119. It got my attention. I looked at it a little more, and saw that it was a 45LC. I like that round, so it got more attention.
Till it was all said and done, the guy said, $100. SOLD!
On the way home, I started doing more research and it turned out that it isn't an "ol' Armi" but in fact, a Uberti. I actually walked around the rest of the show with folks asking, "Is that a Uberti?" To which I said, "Nope, an Armi." They lost interest pretty quickly after that.
Anyways, here's my hunnert-dollar handgun. It's a fine shooter and I like it a LOT!
