I stopped off at the kittery trading post late last night after work, and sniffed around the used guns like I like to do for a while. I've been looking to replace my old model 60 with an alloy framed gun for a year or so now, and after overlooking it six or eight times, I found it just as I was about to leave! :banana:
It is a model 38, bodyguard, blued, for around $350 or so. I put it on hold right away. Oddly, I understand that they made these guns from 1996 to 1998 only, yet it appears to have a pinned barrel, which I thought they stopped doing in 1982 sometime. Maybe the pin is there to fix the steel barell to the aluminum frame?
Sadly, I don't have $350, so I will probably trade in my old model 60 for it, which will see little or no carry after I get the lighter model.
Anyway, I'm pretty psyched to finally find the gun I've been looking for all this time. :danceban:
