This pistol has served me well, and i hate to see it go.... but i have my sights set on something in .357 mag with a bit of a longer barrel as this one is only 2 inches long. and i like the idea of using .38 spcl as reduced loads for target shooting.
either that or an automatic in .380 havent decided, but so far, i am fairly sure i am going to sacrifice this one for whatever i may get.
i picked this up very gently used, was only used for snake duty with cci shotshells.
i have put about 1.5 boxes of JSW and 1/2 a box of JHP +P+ no malfs whatsoever.
i paid 250-280 (cant remember honestly i usually say 250 to be safe.)
$175 sounds like a good price to me, would also consider trades - or trades plus cash (cash coming from me to you) for a nice 4-5 inch .357 mag.
(not sure how those mauser pics got int here, nor am i sure how to get rid of them as "attached thumbnails" anyway that is for another thread, and if you buy both you get them for 300 together)
