Unexpected benefit to the gun buying frenzy. Well for me at least.

Over on the Colt forum (www.coltforum.com) one of the posters just purchased a minty Colt 38 Super with a nickel finish for $570.00. Evidently it dates from the 1950's and that is avery good price for a minty Colt 38 Super. The kid who sold it to him said he had inherited the pistol from his grandfather, but he needed the money so he could "buy an assult rifle of some type".

$570.00 is a very good price for that pistol. Especially if it really is in minty or mint condition. That's just an example of the silliness going on right now.

Hmm.... Might have to go down to the Grand Forks gunshow next month and see what kind of deals I can get on a pre-1898....

I don't know who that kid is, but I now officially hate him.

Super .38s need to be treasuered by shooters who appreciate great men like Bob Lee and Earl Lee Swagger and Melvin Purvis.
