Guess it all depends on what you're looking for.

My wife has been wanting a LadySmith and a Browning BDA, both of which are hard to find. So this afternoon, she found both. Since it's just before Christmas and funds are a bit tight, after some thought, she got the Browning (it was $70 cheaper and the one she REALLY wanted). We took it to the range and put about 80 rounds through it. She likes it even better than her Beretta 380. (She's cleaning both of them right now.)

She says she'll probably find another LadySmith someday.

You need to teach me that trick...

How did you get her to "clean" her pistols???

;-) :lol:

I always clean mine, but my husband does all the reloading for me.

Seriously guys, cleaning your wives' gun is a small price to having your lady as your shooting buddy.

She has actually had cleaning of a semi-auto demonstrated to her, and I've only cleaned revolvers, so she just took the initiative.

When we owned an airplane, she would voluntarily repack the wheel bearings during the annual. She's always liked getting her hands dirty.

I picked up a K98 for $265 and a little .45 BP pistol. I saw some possible good deals but wasnt able to check true prices. Nothing new of course but some used ones were fairly nice. I am taking my laptop to the next show in Houston so I can check prices before buying.
