It'd be fun to see if one could be worn out.

A 4” 16-4 to go with my 6”. A model of 1950 Target pre26 45ACP. I could go on but it would be easier to just say S&Ws from 1918-1990 or so. To the OP, what would you consider a decent price on a 1006? I have one collecting dust I could possibly be talked out of.

I don't know the number he's going to make, but I think it's only 50. I know there's a helluva lot of interest on his Facebook page. His pistols will use the Tanfoglio 10mm magazines for the Witness pistol, which are available and relatively inexpensive, as opposed to D&D's non-existent magazines. I'm pretty sure that most of this issue is spoken for, but there might be a few that don't have a deposit on them. Chuck has built his own HiPowers from scratch, and probably 1911s, too, and they are spectacular. The preliminary frame and slide he's posted pics of, are equally spectacular, a lot cleaner than the D&D guns. If I had $3500 laying around, I'd be all over one.

I was getting really close to either buying a used one or a new one, but after a lot of research, I found that the accuracy wasn't what I had always been lead to believe, and a lot of people have significant problems with sticky extraction. Was leaning towards the new ones because they're drilled & tapped for a scope, which would've been the only way my eyes could take advantage of the accuracy.

The Sig P210 is back in production. Do you mean you wish you could have bought one of the original P210's? I don't think they were inexpensive, either.

H-K P7 Some of the pistols mentioned are currently available. When new, some of the older ones mentioned were expensive for their day. I have a Ruger twin cylinder single six that if new would retail for $600. I paid $100 for mine new in 1975. So there is a reason these guns were maybe passed by back then. In 1975, as a starting out accountant, even $100 was a stretch for me. Yeah and I had two kids and no house yet! Last edited by mrmarklin; 06/22/19.

The 337 PD is the lightest .38 Special +P that S&W ever manufactured, or probably any others manufactured at only 9 ounces. I didn't know that I needed one until I went to a gun show in Florida and handled a Scandium frame S&W 360. That one is a current .357 Magnum and since I knew I'd only shoot .38 Specials, I went looking for a pre-lock lighter weight .38 Special version and that is the 337 PD. Lots of you guys like the Airweight J frames like the 442, 642 or the 637. I just shoot better single action with an exposed hammer J-frame and my M60 was just too chunky at 20 ounces for every day carry. A gun shop in Georgia had the 337 PD that I was looking for and the M60 went up for sale. My other auto is a .45 The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

I want it back! These are still available, and come up on Gunbroker.com and frequently local markets. Still very popular. Current prices are fairly high IMO, but you get what you pay for. Truth of the matter is, you aren't going to run into any of these guns at the prices they used to be. You don't make the kind of money you used to make. Times change but most of these guns are still available from someone getting older and haven't used them in a long time. Just be willing to step up to the new prices.
