Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 In their infinate wisdom the company I work for has decided I cannot carry my 1911 any longer. Duty firearms must be double action, never mind that I've carried the 1911 in condition one for years without an incident. So, I want to carry a P38 or a Browning Hi Power just to thumb my nose at them. Unfortunately I can't afford one in working condition so I'm looking for one that you may have around in pieces and/ or are willing to let go Cheap. I can affoed no more than about $200 and that is stretching it. Until then I'm toating my Colt New Service in .45 Colt. Thanks Bugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenny Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 There are some listed in the newest Shotgun News, but are higher than your $200 limit. Also, I did not know that Browning made a HiPower in DA. Shenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Boss Hoss Fly has a p-38 in nice condition for 250.00 shipped. Don't think you can get a better deal than that. http://sassnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=171673 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riptide Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Why not get a colt double eagle if you like your 1911? I have one and they still have the same feel and power. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Double_Eagle -Riptide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshot Frank Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Boss Hoss Fly has a p-38 in nice condition for 250.00 shipped. Don't think you can get a better deal than that. http://sassnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=171673 +1 Every once in awhile, a For Sale and a WTB post just match up almost perfectly. I think that this is one of those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I may be totally off base here , but I think he means double action first shot capability. Both the Browning High-Power and P-38 have that feature. If we're talking double-action only , neither qualify , as you pards know. Lots of options out there , just not many in the 200.00 price range. Good luck , Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Cord Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I would never bet my life on a cheap gun, although I totally understand the nose thumbing moral high ground that you seek. For the first time in my life I have long hair (at 51) to hold the high ground. Best of luck to you Bugs! In their infinate wisdom the company I work for has decided I cannot carry my 1911 any longer. Duty firearms must be double action, never mind that I've carried the 1911 in condition one for years without an incident.

I can affoed no more than about $200 and that is stretching it. Until then I'm toating my Colt New Service in .45 Colt. Thanks Bugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Willi Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I agree, if you are looking for a duty gun for work please get a ggod one, my life and or yours might depend on it. Ps I have never see a P38 or high power for $200 that was worth fixing let alone bet my life on! WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
