Old Smiths M10's-m19's

riddleofsteel · October 22, 2002, 09:00 PM

I was in Arrington's in Greensboro, N.C. yesterday and noticed that a small police force had traded in a boatload of old Model 10's, Model 12's, and Model 19's. There is still a good selection of blued, nickel and stainless models that are all mechanically sound but vary, finish and holster wear wise, from project guns to tolerable.

Best of all they are all $135.00 each!

Sigh.

Grab a Model 19 NOW! Don't wait. Stainless if you must (which I think is the Model 66), but I would go with the blue, even if it has some holster wear. Heck, buy two Model 19s. Or one of each. Or something.

Got a 10 and a 19. Love 'em.

Get a 12, too. Airweight M&P, very underappreciated.

That's a very good price on the .38s and a great price on the .357s. Buy them all, keep the ones you like, and auction the rest for at least $50-$100 profit on each one.

Buy some for me! At that price, I'll take 1 in each model and each finish!

You and me, Augie. You and me. I guess I'll have to be Doggie Daddy.

Phone number or address, how can one contact them?

For that price I would buy at least one of each. Probably more.
