I found this in a local pawn shop. Is this a good deal for 450? I am gonna take it apart tomorrow but it seems all original.

1964 T Series for $450? You did extremely well aside from the idiot marks.

See as Browning discontinued the High power, that's quite a good score.
Clean it, pop a new recoil spring in it and enjoy! |

So i happened to stop in a local pawn shop on the way home from the range. They usually have a large selection and I got there right as they were closing. I thought this might be something more than a standard HP so I snagged pics and wanted to ask around. i am not overly familiar wit HPs. I appreciate the response guys!
I will be there with cash in hand today, talk them down as much as i can, and field strip it and view internals before buying. pretty stoked

I sure did. It is the most accurate pistol I have ever fired. Only thing is I get minor hammer bite due to a high grip so i will replace it with a C&S no bite hammer. i also ordered new recoil, firing pin, hammer strut assembly springs direct from browning. You have to call to order but they are really cheap and this way I know it is the correctly produced part.

I am so happy with this pistol. I have fired maybe 500 rounds through it so far. Ordered a bunch of spare parts on the cheap direct from Browning to have on hand and since they are not producing the pistols anymore (they did say they generally make parts for discontinued weapons for at least 10 years).
I shoot this pistol so well, and now bird dog the pawn shop constantly for another deal like this

I shoot this pistol so well, and now bird dog the pawn shop constantly for another deal like this Some guys, who don't understand how the shops work, will say, "I bet that's stolen". No, not hardly. Most every city large enough to have more than 1 pawnshop has a police officer whose entire job it is to check Pawn Shop tickets against the stolen merchandise list, with guns that have serial numbers- which it's a felony to remove or change etc....- and the shops won't take those kinds of guns, it would be almost impossible to have a stolen gun actually make it to the shelf for sale. If an item IS found to be stolen, the shop is out the money they paid for it and the owner gets their stuff back, free.... I have MANY friends in the business- both private and corporate shops- their "stolen rate" is about 1-2% of the things that are pawned or less- you have higher odds at a gunshow, craigslist, flea markets etc.....When you consider that even small shops have $250k on the street at any given time in loans, that's not a very significant part of their operation. Now, if people are too stupid to keep track of their serial #'s (They're kinda there for a reason?) etc.....then they don't give a shit about their property and it's not my problem. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wow, some of you guys must be living right to come up with these. I've owned and carried two "T" series, and even years ago know I paid around $600.00 for them. Now? Forget it. They gave the guy $200 for that pistol. DOUBLED their money on it and it's still a great deal. I have a route I drive around town on lunch hours twice a week that hit's all the good shops. |

I can count all the good pawn shop finds I have bought in 25 years on one hand and still have several fingers left over...
When I lived in Texas, I might see something tempting in 1 in 5 pawn shop visits. In Phoenix, its closer to 1 in 50. Prices are usually 1 1/3 of new... yeah, I know I am supposed to negotiate, but getting the price down to 90% of new hardly worth my time. |
