I was able to purchase a nice addition to my collection.  I was shipped last Satruday so I should have gotten it yesterday since Monday was a holiday.  I went by the pawn shop that does my FFL transfers yesterday and they were CLOSED!

Mad

Just went by there at lunch and still no FedEx!  So hopefully I'll get a call soon.

More to come…

I just picked up the new addition and I must first say that it exceeded my expectations and to be honest I didn't think that was possible!

Okay guys, as most of you know I have been looking for a 745 for a very long time.  A couple of weeks ago I was approached about one for sale and needless to say I jumped on it.  I had to move some stuff but it was well worth it.  I was able to take a few pictures this morning.  Sorry for stealing the firewood idea but I had some from an outing this past weekend in my truck so it made for an easy shoot.

I am sooo bloody jealous.  That's one that I still really want, and Monson too.

Congrats on the buy, Jody.  It's beautiful.

As soon as you posted that you had a new addition to the collection, I just knew you had snagged your .45 Colt, and that one is, well, WOW!

4VH, Stainless, unfluted, smooth Zebra grip- easily one of the most beautiful revolvers I've ever seen.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Guys sometimes you just get lucky!  Now I need brass and bullets!  It did come with some goodies, the Monson V6 assembly, a V4 shroud and combat grip.
