Found this on GunBroker.com with only a few hours left on the auction and no one had bid on it!

"D@%n GunBroker.com!!!"  (I should know better!) lol!!  There's not always good deals but, every once in a while....

It was a "No Reserve" with a sub $200 starting price.  So here it is!

My first choice would of been a "Convertible" (this one only has the Magnum Cylinder) but that can be "fixed"  ;)

I also bought a Remington 870 Express 12 gauge LEO Turn-in,  I need one for practicing 3 Gun Shoots and not worry about scratching. My other Shotguns aren't "safe queens" but are still nice so I don't want to beat them up.

Range report to follow on this one and a couple others I haven't shot yet.  I have a trip to the Range planned this weekend  ;D

AND to prove to OV that I am now in the "Hog Leg" Club! (not sure if that is a good thing or not!)  :o

I'm not sure how many of these are made?, the serial number seems low #1064

Congratulations Rick welcome to the "HOG LEG" club . I knew you'd fall sooner or later and I know you'll thrilled with it , has its own feel to it (now for some oversized boot grips) . ;)
TO ARMS , TO ARMS the liberal socialists are coming . Load and prime your weapons . Don't shoot till you see their UN patches or the Obama bumper stickers , literally . And shoot any politician that says he wants to help you or us .

Hog-Leg? I always wondered where that came from; hogs have short legs. Too, only a robot hog would have steel legs......Looks like NIB in the photos. You didn't buy that whole gun, just half. You stole the other half.....

Nice find Rick. I do my best to stay away from the auction, especially this close to Christmas.

Nice!!! Can't wait for the range report.
I know!  I can hardly wait to shoot some holes in paper! I wonder if the longer barrel will help my lousy shooting! lol!!

Robot Hogs! I like it!  ;D  It is NIB... I know, a killer deal!  I keep blabbing about how much these guns cost!

Rick,

That's a truly elegant revolver.  I -- as others on the forum have already expressed -- look forward to a range report soon.

I'll bet that hog-leg's much longer than usual sight-radius is a great help in producing tight shot groups. Let's just hope the revolver "shoots to the sights."

Happy trails, and congrats on a great purchase,

That is what I would like to know. Minute of squirrel at 25 yards? That would be awesome!

Rick,
She is a BEAUTY!
No more barrel envy...
It is getting close to Christmas and I think I just got an idea for a new mystery package to show up at the shop.
Black and Grey G10's... Should make it a fine shooter.

No I do not want to shoot it!  Other projects in the works no more NAA's for a while.

Have fun trying it out.

So, Rick,

Can't wait; need it now.

Happy trails,

"Next range trip may be in a couple weeks" Now that is some sad news indeed!  :'(
