You crack me up!

About the flyer....I want to buy me a M9 Beretta, but they are expensive. I had one over 30 years ago, a female friend of mine had one she got from her ex-husband to pay a $75 bill she had paid for, she didn't want it so she called me, I gave her the $75 and took it home, cleaned it up and it looked good, however, the guy had a drug use history so I called a cop friend of mine and asked him to look up the serial, he said "Look if it's stolen I have to take it, so what do you want to do? So I ended up giving it to a friend who was a gun show dealer, he sold it and got me a clean bobcat instead.
Why do I want one? I don't know, another safe queen I guess. Out of the last 5 or 6 things I've bought lately , only one has been to the range, the one I carry. Ah shit. I guess I'll make it 7.

You mean we're supposed to actually shoot these things?

Of course not, you know guns are bad. They are conversation items. "Honey look what I just got"....and then the conversation really starts....

I highly recommend Rock Island if you need to eliminate high end firearms or a large collection.

Oh their good GARANDNUT they for sure get the big boys in to bid $$ from around the world and they recently moved their company to Texas. Damn problem?
My buddy back a bit wanted me to line him up with an auction house to sell some dang gun from the 1800s worth around $6,000 or so. Hello Rock Island. Real nice people but? When they got done explaining the fees sellers cost buyers cost whatever the frig they were adding up? My buddy was not going to have enough $$ to buy lunch at Mickey Ds. I politely said goodbye.
They have called me a half dozen times to sell and I finally said leave me alone. Buying from them maybe but selling through them? No way for me.

I recently put away my Colt Series 70 and replaced it with a Springfield Mod3 in my night stand. I don't want that Colt stolen if anyone breaks in.

[4thIDvet]

Ah you don't want that old Colt junk fire stick Fred let me do you a favor and take it off your hands. My good deed of the day I will give yah a good buck and make yah happy.

I bought a brand new US marked Beretta M9 and a new military belt and holster including magazine pouches. They came in a presentation box. The box fell apart years ago. The set wasn't very expensive. I have put less than a box of cartridges through it. It's in my safe but I dont want to sell it. I prefer the the 1911.

I remember you bought one, yes, that was a while back. I saw an Italian made one somewhere but I can't remember now. I wonder if the ones made here are just as good, Beretta decided to open shop here a while back, I'd figure the quality has to be there, I don't know.

Ha! We have a joker ........I have two, my original Series 70 purchased in 1973? I think and my Gold Cup Series 70...still a virgin. My younger boy is keeping everything I have when I kick the bucket and get the hell out of here. I have a list of things and where they are so he can find them. There is always a loaded tool near me. I need to keep one at the island but nothing ever happens there. No crime, only people driving over the speed limit.
