Revolvers

[Walking Bear]

Is it just me or does it appear that most gun shops in my area have three times as many semi auto as revolvers. The ones that are there are fairly pricey also.

Well, they've probably been selling that same percentage for some years now. I'm not surprised. As much as some of us love wheel guns, the advantages of autos are obvious.

Gun store stocks what most people want to buy, I don't blame them, but that's why I shop on GB.

If someone would produce a semiautomatic revolver with a 15 round capacity, I would sell all of my bottom-feeders.

Hundred reasons why the ratio may be skewed how many of what taken on trade, if he is a certified dealer of brand X, what is the greatest margin on what gun. Most likely it’s just what is in the case at that point in time. Isn’t this a great country? And the trends in these times are toward autos.

Not a 15 round capacity, but...

They stock what sells

i recently called most shops in the Indy/south-central area, they all report carrying little to none & say there is little demand and/or only $$$$ collector-grade that come in lately.

I've also noticed dealerships these days have more trucks than wagons.

Oh, they've got plenty of wagons. They just call them "crossovers" or SUVs nowadays.

What else they don't have is anything with walnut and blue steel. They all go to gunbroker immediately.

If one didn’t drink the HC Koolaid, Six does the trick…..specially in 44 and does not leave empty cases behind.

That's awesome. Wonder why someone doesn't pick up on this, and make a modern version.

I went to a really big and semi-famous auction (I was there for like 9 hours, and it was my first gun auction ever) up here when I was just getting back into guns, and they had a couple of them. I didn't know any better, so I thought they were just regular Webleys. When the bidding started, I quickly found out that they obviously were not regular Webleys!

How much did they go for?

Was that the one at Earl's Auctions that had Johnson Rifles, a ****-ton of Garands, and a full-auto Uzi?

I want to say at least $2K or something like that. I was thinking they would go for about $300 - $400 at the time!

There were a bunch of Johnson rifles there that I really wanted. I also grossly underestimated the prices that those things command!

YES!! I went with indy1919a4 (a seasoned auction goer). It was eye opening and mind-blowing. I picked up a couple of Swedish Mausers and 1 or 2 ammo lots I think.
