The only way to look at it is think of all the money you've saved...Skans » 26 Mar 2025, 11:03 am » wrote: ↑ Oh, no. The 1900's Luger is a gun I've been trying to acquire for years now. It's got to be the right one, but when I find the right one they always go for more than what I'm willing to pay.
And, the Borchardt C-93 another gun I once tried to acquire. When I first became aware of it, they were going for about $6,500. I even bid up to $5,000 on one once at Rock Island Auction - I was outbid by $6K on that one; never stood a chance. The Gun Jesus (Ian McCollum) was working that auction and showed me the Borchardt, as well as a prized Nazi Luger that belonged to someone pretty high up in the SS - forgot who. Well, he got me to bid the Borchardt up a little. Now a good one can't be found for under $20,000.
I also got out-bid at that auction on 2 First Gen Colt SAA 45's. But, I did end up taking home a really trick, custom STI 2011. Great shooter!
While the MBA Gyrojet is interesting, I never really liked them. I've handled a few and they look and feel like cheap cast-aluminum toys. The Chinese bullpup - that was the only gun I could find that started with Q.
it's what I do...
