I can't say cause I'm not a revolver guy,yet. But if you like it and you are happy with the deal, then you did good in my book. Congrats on the new gun. Got pics. yet?

I think you got an OK price especially since you have not been able to find one. Being built on your Dad's birthday makes it special. Enjoy!

That guy sounds like a pistol.

I was expecting something a little harder to find, like an SR1911. But, great purchase!

Nice gun and very touching story about your dad's birthday. also nice that you can transport a handgun on a motorcycle. In NJ there is no legal way to transport a handgun on a motor cycle. Even unloaded in a case in a locked hard saddle bag is illegal. This is what I have been told by a state police officer of my acquaintance. If I am wrong please let one of my motorcycle riding gun owning brethren correct me. I bring this up because my state police officer friend has said this has been what they are told.

That's such a cool story, right before Father's Day, too.
It'd be fun to get a bunch of guys together and take a ride to the shop just to bring him more bizness.
Imagine, a Horde of Wiseguys riding up and buying a few 'items'!

Glad you found a good deal like that.
