I had to go out of town this weekend for some unpleasant duties (about two hours away) but the up side is there is a good local gun store in this town. I managed to sneak buy for a short visit and as always went straight to the previously enjoyed case to look for orphan Dan’s. I see a large frame gun and ask to see it. The clerk hands me a 44VH8. A quick look shows it had been road hard and put away wet too many times so I ask if he has any other Dan’s. I get the” look” (like why) anyway he looks around and says no. So as I wrangle my 6 year old constantly chanting “I want a pistol” I see a familiar looking grip butt on the bottom shelf peeking out from behind a box. I ask to see it and the clerk (maybe 22 YO) retrieves it and says “It’s only a 22” and hands it to me. I look her over and quickly determine that it is mint. Hardly a blemish and I am not sure if it was ever fired or not. I take a deep breath and look at the price tag. $365.00. I ask the clerk what’s the best he could do since it’s only a 22 and he says I’ll be right back.  He comes back with $350 OTD. Since y’all know the rest of the story here are the required pics. 

As I was leaving the store my son was chanting “Daddy buy me a gun” I winked at the clerk and whispered little does he know I just did.

I'll do some better pics later, afterall it is Monday.
