I work at a shop that does free transfers, so, we get A LOT of transfers in and get to see a lot of interesting stuff coming through. There is a customer that comes in that has really been bitten by the revolver bug and he gets his guns transferred to us so he can pick them up. He was on a Smith & Wesson kick for a while, but has switched to something different the last couple of times he's been in.
He told me that he was in Wally World a while back picking up a few things and stopped by the gun counter to look for some ammo and asked for some .45. He meant .45 acp but was given a box of .45 Colt instead. He didn't want to bother with trying to return it, so, he started looking into guns that fired .45 Colt. And, boy, did he land on some nice stuff. He ended buying a 1966 Colt SAA, a 1968 Colt SAA and a new Colt SAA. All were beautiful guns by the way. I laughed and said, "An unintended ammo purchase that cost you $5,000", and he said, "It cost me more than that." When he left I told him to be more careful with his ammo purchase from now on.
