I couldn't help my self. I bought this today for $150, it's a little worse for wear but she locks up tight as can be. Actually this picture was taken before I have her a good cleaning. The action is very smooth. Now to decide whether to fix her up, or leave her as is.

Truck gun, written all over it.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

If I find one like that locally, it'll be mine as well.
Load that with some 158 LSWCHP +P loads, toss it in the glove box, and you're well covered.

Did you run it to see if it was hot?

No but I bought it from a 91 year old man. He sold me the DS because he wanted a 22 rifle to shoot squirrels in his yard. I'm not to sure he can even see them!

Now to decide whether to fix her up, or leave her as is. I'd leave her as is . . . She nicely matches the furniture she's sitting atop of!

Find some original grips and a Tyler T and stick that bad boy in your pocket when you go out on the town. That's what would happen at my house anyway. Nice buy

Nice buy That's a later model with oversized grips on it already. I'm not sure a Tyler's T Grip would even fit on it. It's a nice buy at $150. It doesn't look that bad. I'd guess it would've easily brought $300 someplace else.

I resurrected one in similar condition and sent it to APW. It came back looking like this and I have less invested in this gun than the cost of the average Charter Arms or Taurus revolver. http://www.apwcogan.com/

The silver flash on the muzzle shows she's been carried, not just a drawer sleeper. She's at her best right now.
