I coulda had that dang thing for 300 bucks (I need a crying smiley)

I just had one in that had the hi polish stainless. Disconnector kept binding on the sear. Guy called me a few days later b/c he needed to sell it for much needed cash and wanted to know if I knew anyone. I think the range I work at bought it. Probably sold it within a hour or so too. It wasn't there monday and he said he was going to bring it over there on saturday. They do go fast.

My thoughts on the .380 Mustang - Don't leave home without it.

I've had a Mustang Pocketlite riding around in my jeans pocket for the last 15 years.

iver johnson pony the star model d and the colt gov't madel were all pretty much the same gun , presently they bring big buck ( colt ) and though very functional there will come a time when parts become harder and harder to find. as with the gun itself, with collectors jumping on the colt it has driven the prices to a insane level. again let me say functional and reliable but so are well maintained 1963 thunderbirds but you wouldn't use the t-bird as your daily driver ..... would you. if it was me i'd consider the sig 380 1st the walther poly framed new 380 2nd

I would drive a T-bird daily if I had one...

yall might have noticed by now that i have some "strange" views on things.

since im a christian i believe that the earth and all that is in it will burn up one day
and since it matters the condition of my heart, it doesnt matter about material things
so i figure not matter the collector value of a gun, if i want to enjoy one while im here on earth i might as well.

john i happen to hold a few of the same views i shoot just about everything i own and i have a few "collectables" but i was looking at it from the view point of me being a cheap bast*** . my t-bird example .... i happen to own one it's in very good condition but since so many parts are exclusive only to the 63 it cost a arm and a leg to replace most parts. hence i drive it only to local car shows and never with a cloud in the sky...

mrs. oscarmayer was reading over my shoulder she reminded me her quote to me " you nitwit don't forget to mention you took a sig 210-6 (3000.00 + value in pristine condition) " overseas" last year and ruined the finish during a few sand-storms" so i get it if you own it you should use it
