Title: New addtions to the family
Post by: BAC on November 08, 2009, 11:06:39 PM
Yesterday I attended the Flight 93 Memorial groundbreaking ceremony in Shanksville, PA.  Since I was in the neighborhood (only 3 hours away) I drove to the Hamburg Cabela's to do a little shopping.

I brought along our Bersa Thunder .380s to trade (not expecting much) and the gift cards I've been saving since earlier this year.  I like to accumulate frequent travel points and use them for free money.  This year has been pretty good in that regard.  The suckish part is spending 100+ nights away from home so far this year.

My main purpose for the trip was to purchase a single action revolver.  They had a Cimarron Evil Roy Competition SA in .357 with a 5½" barrel and case hardened frame.  It was love at first sight (pun intended)!  "I'll take it" I said.  In the next display case was a Smith & Wesson 637 with Crimson Trace Laser Grips.  It fit so well in my hand.  "Buy me!" I heard it say.  Who was I to say no?

The 637 was on sale, they gave me 5% off the SA since I took the display piece, and I bought 150 rounds on ammunition.  After the trade in, the gift cards, tax, background check fees, etc,, etc.,  I ended up paying about $130 for everything.

We went to the range today, which has become a very rare occurance.  The trigger on the Cimarron is amazing!  We had great time and shot most of the ammo.  I think I lost the S&W to my wife, who said it would fit perfectly in her purse.

I have become a wheel gun lover!
