Ol' Man's .38 Derringer

MattH · Post by **MattH** » Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:00:51

I've been working with a guy for a while who is 70 years old now. I have been trying to get a .38 Derringer off him since I saw it at his house years ago. He finally asked me how much I would pay for it. He told me he payed $150 and I'm thinking thats all he wants out of it. I'm not sure who makes the one he has.. But I was just wondering what ya'll think of that price? It's never been shot, and has all the paperwork and a box. It would definately have some sentimental value, if I got it.

That doesn't sound like a lot of money for a new-in-the-box pistol of any kind. And if it cost $150 years ago, it may be a pretty good firearm. But without knowing more, it's a crap shoot.

Depends on who made it. I think $150 sounds fair as long as it's not a super rarity.

You can get a basic blued one for $140 plus shipping from Bud's.

This whole time I was under the impression that it was the Chrome/Wood style but it is the Blued version. I might just save my money and get an LCP because thats what I really want right now. My buddy said he would sell me his LCP, 2 mags, holster, and some ammo for $250.

The LCP is a bargain. Get that.

Shoot it first if you can, the LCP has some bite to it

Yea he is a good friend of mine. He told me I could borrow the LCP and shoot it. I told him no, just becuase I would never lend someone a gun to borrow. I've been asked that before... I have always thought it was a strange question to ask. We've got to get together this weekend anyways, so I'll shoot it this weekend

I picked up my new LCP today from the Gander Mtn. on Route 3 in Fredericksburg. I went yesterday around 5 and I was on "HOLD" by the screening/background check untill 11 this morning

Gunna take her out back later or possibly tomorrow (for the fellow hunter sake) and see how she does

Congrats! The hold thing happens sometimes it's annoying to say the least.
