Old friend, not current friend. He’s dying and the wife needed some help with the paperwork. It’s kinda surreal dealing with people in this manner.<\/p>\n

Keith, he’s the guy that bought your Colt from you. He loved that gun. Not sure if you even remember. We both had the same model gun, but yours was a lightweight. I was shooting the gun a couple of months back and the front sight popped off. Since I carried the gun for years, it was looking kinda shabby due to holster wear. When the sight popped off, I decided to have it refinished and since I really don’t need a basic gun anymore, I decided to go a little stupid. Adjustable sights. Ambidextrous safety. Custom Harley Davidson grips to go with the orange and black Harley Davidson colors. I dropped about $750 in the customization, paid about $200 over 25 years ago, and got offered $1000 for it at the convention I was at. I took his card in case I wanted to sell. I also gave him my card in case he wished to come up to $1300.<\/p>\n
