Looking for a small cheap decent quality pocket pistol. No revolvers, thinking .22, Beretta 21A mebbe around $200 or less. Anyone seen one up north? Best I have found is the Marksman in Puyallup (Ber 21A) for $218.

They usually have some of those little berettas at Ben's.  I haven't been in there in a while though, so can't give you a for sure.

Have you considered a WTB ad in the E/E?

No, actually I haven't. I'll take it under consideration tho. I hear bad things about the E/E I found a new 21A (matte and plastic)  for $200 yesterday so that one may be the one.  LEED had one of the Taurus clones (used, nickel and wood) for $149 but I know better than to cut corners with small guns. Each part works harder when the size is reduc......  Nah, I know that will line will get quoted out of context. Doug also had a blue and wood 21A for $250.

Doug did try to sell M a lightly used S&W 9mm second gen police trade in (2 12 shot mags) for $300 "out the door" though. That was tempting. I managed to drag her away with a promise of a latte. I still haven't shown her the new production Garand at one shop for $850.

Rainer Guns had a  couple at $250. But he also had a SA M1A SOCOM (16" bbl) in stock. I wonder about the stress on the gas system but damn it was sweet. He's got quite the collection of black guns but his prices need work. They reflect the pay scale of the nearby (.mil) community.

Quoted: They can usually be found for $230-$250.

I really don't want to add another calibre to the lock up, hence the deuce deuce. and I'm not really sold on the Kel Tecs. I'll give them a couple more decades then think about buying one. Yeah, I handled one today at Rainier Guns but wasn't sold on them. Didn't anyone tell you that size isn't everything?

If you'd accept something anemic and problematic, I've got something right up your alley!

I've a Beretta 21A (maybe, double action, tip up barrel) in 25ACP.  The tip of the firing pin is broken.  If I had access to a decent lathe, I'd just turn another one out.  $100.

Quoted: Come now, you can get one from the CMP and have hundreds of dollars left for ammuntion for less than that.

Yeah, I know but the new ones are prettier. I happen to like the thought of the government "giving" me a gun tho so CMP it is.

Quoted: anemic and problematic,

While a C note is tempting for a broken gun in an obscure calibre I think I'll pass. Thanks for thinking of me tho.

Did that part strike anyone else as....funny?
