Happiness is a new gun 2

[Bawanna]

I really don't have any to put in handles. I kind of collect pins but mostly have singles and stuff from my PD days.
There's all kind of pins online, there's one I'll have to research, forgot the name but they have all breeds of dogs and stuff.

Those do look like Wenge now that you mention it, not clear in the photo. I do have some of that left and a bit of a few others. Need to go visit the lumber yard, haven't been there in years. I emailed and they said they have quite a variety but no coco bolo.

Local FFL works out of his house says he has a Springfield SA35 on order for me. One for me, one for himself. Waiting for a response to find out price and when / if he thinks he might get them in hand. Fingers crossed.

My fingers are crossed for you!

My fingers are crossed for you!

If he actually has a good source and gets them timely and at a decent price I'll let you know and have him get you one too. I can't imagine him being small time being able to get them when the big outfits don't seem to be getting them.
He apparently hadn't even heard of them.

My guy just emailed and said the SA35 will be 660 out the door. So glad I didn't drop a grand or more plus shipping and transfer fee's at one of the online auctions. He didn't say when I might ever see it but fingers crossed.

Pleeze pleeze let him have two of ‘em! My bank account is ready!

660 out the door doesn’t sound too bad to me. I’d be willing to bet that others are going to be paying quite a bit more than that for them.

All the ones on the auction sites are going well over 1000, one was getting bids up to 2000. Each day there seems to be more and more but still out of line.
As I recall MSRP is 699 so 660 including tax.....is more than fair in my book.
Now if he can actually get them, that is the question.

Wow! Well if he gets you one @ 660, then a back rub or something is in order!

This guy and his wife run his little business, mostly gun shows and online. He came into the department probably 10 years ago and told me he would do transfers for cops for free, and had very aggressive low pricing for LE. He didn't have the buying power to supply the department stuff but alot of the officer bought personal guns me more than the others of course.
He messed up when I told him I didn't want a PM45 when I wanted him to get me one, said they were too expensive. So I bought it elsewhere and showed it to him at the next gunshow.
Course the last transfer I had him do he charged me 45 bucks, the last time I had him do transfers for me too.
Local brick and mortar shop closed up a month ago and the 2nd shop is generally high priced and he don't do transfers, so kind of have to do what one has to do I guess.
