Scored a Colt Python while picking up my PPT gun.
So I stopped by CoCo Ichibanya in Irvine to get some chicken cutlet curry before picking up my 17-8. The cashier forgot to charge me but I felt too guilty about defrauding an establishment that any service member who ever did time in Japan would swear loyalty to, so I reminded them that I needed to pay. Karma paid me back by giving me first dibs on a stainless steel 4" Colt Python that just made the display case today at OC Armory.
The gun I was picking up: And the gem that I managed to score: I used to talk trash about how people only liked this gun because of its pop culture value and aesthetics, but now I realize what a fine example of art and craftsmanship this particular piece is.

A little more than 16 bills, but I knew I'd be kicking myself for walking away from a gun that is often talked about yet not manufactured anymore...

It looks pretty used, I wouldn't exactly call 1600 a steal for a gun that's clearly a "shooter." More like $1000 IMO.
But congrats anyway! |
