Pawn Shop Circuit: Tactical Euroguns and Wartime GI Leads
Dave still had his Smith & Wesson 686, as well as the Ruger Security Six. I was surprised to see these two still languishing on the shelves. The prices are not outrageous, the Ruger is $189, the S&W is $399.

Amber was closed for Martin Luther King Day.
Shortly before lunch, I recieved a call from an old friend, Cussin' Bob of the Flatland Debate Society. Bob asked me if I had a .38 revolver I would be interested in swapping. I told Bob that all depended on what he had. Bob informed me it wasn't him, but a friend who was wanting to trade a 1911 for a .38 revolver. I asked what kind of 1911.

This could be good. I don't want to get my hopes up, but Cussin' Bob lives in an area where the CMP is extremely strong still, and a lot of C&R gunnies live. It's about 100 miles away though. I told Bob to get some numbers off the gun, maybe a rubbing of the frame, and give me a call in a couple of days. Whether I trade off one of my .38s or not will really depend on the other gun. It might be an Essex mixmaster, or a prime WWI 1911, who knows? After I explained the situation to Mark over a cup of coffee, Mark suggested he knew where there was a Ruger Security Six that was going for $189 and would make good trade fodder no matter what the 1911 was. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................

Didja find out what kind of 1911 it was/is? Even an Argie would be kewl. I'd like an early Sig to go with my '45 Swiss K-31, the 1906/29 Lugers cost about the same amount as an old Sig 210 though...
I might be willing to trade a .38 for a 1911. What part of the country is the 1911 in?
