Found this brand new Sig Sauer P226 MK25 for a good deal online, priced matched with academy sports and outdoors, came away with it for just a little bit over 900 bucks including taxes. Now I know why this is the official side arm of the navy seals, best handgun I've ever held in my hands and owned.

He just wanted to know the value and if I would be interested. I am, but advised him to get a Factory Letter and sent him to someone I know will be better at appraisal and treat him honestly and fairly because it's out of my price range.....Blue Book is 44K - 70K.......it is about 90-95% IMHO......it has been in a safe deposit box for many years and the family is of the original owner.
Llama XI-A. Shot it yesterday. 50 rounds of mixed stuff. 147 grain factory, 147 grain reloads, and 147 and 124 grain hollowpoints of various manuf.
Needs a new recoil spring for sure and I really need to find something to do with the hammer or grip safety. It "bites" me on every shot.

That's an uncatalogued S&W 68 in .38 Special. Made special-order for the LAPD and CHP. CHP revolvers were issued; LAPD officers could buy one and carry it. I've been using mine lately for bullseye; those badges are revolver disinguished for NRA PPC and Precision (bullseye).
Probably the best .38 6" I've ever had. Superb all-around target and range revolver. I've been shooting it almost daily now for about 2 years with wadcutter and lead ball. I'l get around to cleaning it eventually...
