[QUOTE="OkcPuckFan, post: 3811642, member: 712"] Mine is the epitome of serendipity. When my wife and I were first married in the summer of 1989, I was working nights and we lived in a somewhat less than ideal neighborhood. My wife did not grow up around guns but has embraced the culture and is an excellent shot. I was headed to the gun show on a Saturday morning to find a revolver for her to keep in the bedside table. Glanced at the classifieds in the paper, there was a garage sale two blocks from the house that had a couple of "pistols" listed. On my way to the fairgrounds, I went by the garage sale and the guy pulls out an early '70's Colt Python with stag grips wrapped in an oily shop rag. The other one was an RG .38 that looked like it lived in a tackle box on an ocean going fishing boat. The Python was immaculate. I nervously asked him how much and he said he wanted to sell them together and he wouldn't take a dime less that $275.00. I said each? and he said nope, for the pair. I still have the Python, the RG lives in my tackle box! And the wife still calls this 'her pistol'! [/QUOTE]
