I shoot a lot and am very active at my local rifle club. Meet a lot of great people. Needless to say that I do a LOT of trading and selling. Recently I was shooting with a friend who had a revolver he wanted to get rid of.
I started eyeing over his unwanted item...."You must know up front that it has been modified to shoot only .38 wadcutters" he says. I told him that I am a reloader and that is what I am already shooting in all my .38s. He said he only wanted to get back the money he has into it....we agreed on a price that I will not divulge
Did some research and it turned out to be a little more than a run of the mill revolver.

Turns out that I am the proud owner of a S&W Model 10 - full bore custom PPC race gun that, according to a couple of experts I know was made by none other than one of the best pistol smiths that has ever lived Travis Strahan!!
Strahan's shop is actually only a couple of miles down the street from where I work so I am actually planning on dropping by soon and verifying that it is his work.
Not to rub it in, but to prove that there are still some "diamonds in the rough" to be found if you keep your eyes and ears open.
