Someone needs this classic Smith...

No connections but I have done business with the seller. I'd be mighty tempted but my spending has outstripped my income lately.

That sure is a good price , for a S&W . You should buy it Hoot, down the road you can use it for trade bait.
You are correct!

Not likely to happen though. Been spending too much on other guns lately but it sure is a good looking Smith!
You are correct!

Oh come on, Hoot - PLEASE buy it. Then bring it to CAS and watch me cry my eyes out because I didn't!
I have number 378. Made in 1917. It belonged to a bootlegger in the 1920s, my grandfather acquired it after the bootlegger went to prison. Grandpa kept his little neighborhood grocery store with it all through the depression, and likely prevented a couple of robberies just by taking it out from under the counter and sticking it in his waistband when some guy who didn't look right came in.
Old #378 is pretty rickety now. It will still shoot, but has earned an honorable retirement. I'd love to have a good one, but the gun budget just won't stand another purchase just now.
Hoot. don't you just love all your enabling friends?

You guys are awful!

And I appreciate it!
Boy am.

Robb, make that two of us.

The first step is to admit to weakness.

As I was already working on a mold deal with the seller of the Smith, I commented on how nice that pistol is. He came back with an offer I couldn't pass up. It should be in hand well before CSA so Catoosa can cry over it.
The second step...

is to do penance. You can send that useless old sixgun to the Moreland Home For Tempting Toys as an act of contrition and repentance...
Here to help.
I'll bring plenty of Kleenex
by Catoosa, Friday, March 03, 2017, 09:27 (2824 days ago) @ Hoot
and some ammo!
But I am constant as the northern star...

LOL!
Buy 'em all, Hoot.
