I would have thought they were a specific type of butt pirate weapon.

As my father use to tell us, "Maybe there are things left not knowing!"

This may be one of those times!

Pretty sure this is the same guy. If not, then it’s quite a coincidence. He’s on one of my motorcycle forums. Moved to Austin from SanDiego area (Carlsbad) and rides a Ducati. Registered Sept 2021. One of his opening posts was asking where to find an attorney to keep on retainer. Reason: traffic tickets. Stupid question so pretty sure it’s him. Anyway, he’s got the gun listed for $1400 and the sight, grips, and box are all magically there. You will notice the pic here was taken on the same wooden table as the listing on TGT. He was jerking us around for sure. Here’s the the new posting


.357 Magnum, excellent condition. Case and Hogue Monogrips included.

No trades, no shipping. Will meet in north Austin.

$1,400

Is it the same gun only with proper grips and sight?

Ha! I saw that ad yesterday. Thought of posting it here. Looks like he found the rear sight and grips.

Yep, definitely him. Someone just asked him about it being listed on TGT and he acknowledged it was

So it was advertised here as an incomplete / incorrect pistol for $1800. Then it’s listed with all of the missing stuff +extra grips on Two Wheeled Texans for $1400. And, it’s on Texas Gun Trader for $1200. Ain’t right...

Looks to me like he's trying different bait until he hooks the BigOne.

Ya, he just changed the price again! I was all set to call him out and before I could finish writing it up he adjusted the price so both sites matched. Would have probably bought at this new price if it was like that on day one, but there’s been a lot of deceit and misrepresentations around this revolver and I just can’t trust the guy

Guessing he put in extra shifts on his $5 blowjobs gig and got the $$$ for the grips and rear sight

You should post a link to this thread and ask if it is the same gun

Sad to admit this, but this is my favorite thread here on TGT.

kind of took on a life of its own

 

[Axxe55]

But he was willing to sell it here for $2000! Without the rear sight or the factory grips!

I really hope Karma bites him in the azz!
