Another Bargain?
Holy mackerel! A new pistol that needs restoration! Soaking the whole thing in oil gives it a nice shine in the pics, but does not really hide all the rust. http://www.gunsamerica.com//90708111...IPPIN.htm?wl=1

A lot of minor surface rust. This "new" gun was neglected for a very long time...

The pictures are quite good but David is right.

There's 30+ poor quality pics, humongous size. Here's one I resized & lightened. Price was $1,199.00.

Bad bubbly rust in a LOT of places. A good gun to stay away from.

Interesting how a fairly recent production gun can acquire so much rust?
Like it was dunked in salt water and never cleaned off. Sad Bob

It must have been re-listed today... It showed up again in an email I received of items on my "wish list" at Gunsamerica, and its price is now $999! Still 4 or 5 "hunnert" too much.
