Last week was a very good week for me, but bad for my budget. Monday I hauled some hurricane supplies to the Battered Women's Shelter here in town (Karmic foreshadowing) and stopped at a pawnshop that I like. They had a very good condition, looked like it had never been fired, with box and papers, S&W642-1 Airwieght for $269! I talked to the woman behind the counter a while (an aquantaince of mine) and she let me have it for $229 plus tax!!
Thursday I was driving back from a couple meetings in North Louisiana and stopped at a nice gunshop in the middle of nowhere. Turns out that they had just bought S&W collection from a fellow a couple weeks back. I agonized in the store for about 30 minutes, then started haggling. I ended up with an 'used' but unfired in the box S&W 940 with box, papers, factory cleaning kit and moon clips and a used but very solid S&W Model 12 Airwieght, 4 inch skinny barrel, round butt, with incorrect S&W round butt service grips (they are standard K-frame grips and thus gap a little at the top). I put the pair on lay-a-way for $600 plus tax! $275 for the Mdl 12 and $325 for the Mdl 940. I am dying to sell something big off and just run back up there and grab them.
So much for building an AR carbine or buying a HK91/G-3/Cetme!!
