I finally have a Pawn Shop find to share.
Y'all are always netting cool rigs at reasonable $$$
I now have a .357 Mag worth playing with.
Serial number puts it at 1973
The down side... I can't even buy brass for the silly thing.
I load lot a ton of .38spl, but haven't worried about the .357
I have .357 "truck guns", but I just have some boxes of ammo for them.
Back story is below.
I'm honestly not much of a Pawn Shop guy because the ones around me usually have garbage and it are over priced.
There is one down the road that got bought out and re-opened and named:
Guns & Gold
I had to go in to see if they actually had any decent hardware and how insane the prices were.
They were nice and said let me know if you want to pull anything out of the case.
I thought I already knew I didn't need to see anything.
The rifles in the rack and pistols in the case seemed to be priced at what I would consider "far market value" in the normal world.
Nothing seemed escalated.
I saw that they had a Ruger .357 Blackhawk with a decent price tag.
Ignoring my better judgement, I asked to see it.
It was (is) a nice piece.
I played with it for a minute, doing my best to check for issues.
He said he could work with the price if I was interested.
He said He'd take $399.00 for it.
I asked how long it had been in the case.
It had been there 2 days with a lot of lookers. (Could be BS, but who knows)
This was a Tuesday.
I couldn't walk away from it.
I didn't steal it, but it was a good price for what I was holding in my opinion.
