Barry Sloe Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Two years ago I made the same resolution - no guns. I made it 2 days. On a phone call with an old classmate he mentioned that he had helped a friend by buying a .45 Ruger for $350. I told him I'd give him at least $375 for it and he said "sold". So much for resolutions. BS PS. Great looking Schofields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I said the same thing. Plan to spend the money on the ones I have. That didn’t last too long either. Just ordered a 51 from Longhunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 I just sold a pair of Schofield .44-40's because I never shot them (one, maybe two matches), and wasn't really looking for these, just stumbled across them on Gunbroker, from different sellers in different states. Serial numbers are close, one seller says his looks new & unfired, and my winning bid was definitely right, so... The other one is coming from Lock-Stock-And-Barrel, which is Lead Dispencer, I think, so it should be really, really fast... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have my name on a list at Texas Jack's / Cimarron for a first model Russian (Like the first model American except for the caliber and markings). Been looking for one ever since my original was stolen in 1985. We'll see. At least Cimarron has a rep for getting a lot of guns made that no one else was able to.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I didn't make a 'no gun' resolution. Actually, I'll probably get my first one in February and it will probably be the new Walther PPQ in .22 I have the PPQ 'Q5' in 9mm. Its my only 9mm and I really like it. Its about the best 'feeling' pistol I own, plus its accuracy is darn good. And so far, it appears to be 100% reliable. ..........WIdder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t even know that existed. It does look off though. Like it’s made on a larger frame than a 62 but adapted to look like one. Not sure how I feel about that. I do know I prefer it to look more like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I work part time at a LGS. I do well until someone comes in with a pre lock smith, or a wood and steel rifle. So far this year, I've taken home a 1974 Ruger M-77 (walnut and blue steel), a Smith and Wesson Model 28 that had been very nicely converted to 44 Special, and a Smith and Wesson Model 36 nickel. A younger guy traded the M-77 for an entry level AR. Another one traded the M-28 for a Taurus 9mm, and the M-36 was traded in on a Shield EZ 380. I have no will power when it comes to classic guns.

bgavin Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I wasn't really looking seriously, but tripped over this and jumped on it. Old model 2002 Vaquero Bisley in 44 mag, 5.5" barrel. Mint in box with all factory paper and box candy. This is virtually identical to my 2002 357 in the same configuration. Now.. I need to find a twin brother for it...

You must have giant thumbs I load those cartridges pretty full, the hammers get very close under recoil. El Hombre Sin Nombre, I jus realized something. The two that I shoot gunfighter look different than my third NM Russian (which looks exactly like your twins). My main match guns are 44 russians, but they look more like 44 americans (5” bbls and no hump above the grips). I’m gonna take the third one out this weekend... still think I can shoot it single handed, but I get what you’re sayin’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
