I spoke with the store owner on tuesday and sure enough the hold open is bust on the s/42 however it is a very nice pistol otherwise so maybe I can get a sneaky deal on it.
He is selling them for a customer and oddly enough they had not agreed on a selling price for any of the guns yet!
So I am waiting for a phone call to tell me what they decide...
I am so frustrated, are collectible gun folk always this tricky to deal with?
I have never had such issues buying a Beretta, Colt S&W or any other such "modern " pistol but this is driving me insane. Permit and cash in hand I cant seem to pin the dealers down to a firm sale. Im tempted to just buy a mismatched 1916 down the road as a shooter and be done with it.
