I picked this up today at the Crossroads of the West Show in Phoenix and figured I’d share:
As per usual this was stuck in the back of a dealers case he had to move a gun or two to get it out.
I eyeballed it pretty hard and figured I’d haggle with him and see what I could get it for.
We went back and forth for a few minutes and seeing is how he was an FFL and had to collect sales tax (near 10% in Phoenix) we split the tax and he let it go for $420.00 OTD.
Not a great price but near enough to what I wanted to pay to go ahead and close the deal.
Now, I need another fixed sighted duty revolver like I need the proverbial hole in the head but you don’t see these every day and I have a thing for the odd and uncommon so I figured I’d take it home.
Rooting around on the interwebz I was able to discern there were about 52,000 of these made between 1981 and 1991/92ish.
Not rare but not all that common either.
Both the double action and single action trigger pulls are exceptional which led me to check the mainspring strain screw and it was snugged up as tight as it could be.
I’ll check it out tomorrow and see how it shoots with 38 specials and 357 magnum rounds anything remarkable reference shooting and I’ll report back.
