Taurus Indecision

Dave still has the beater Remmy 870 for $109, and it's starting to look better and better. It does have a ribbed barrel though, that would make it tough to cut down......it has a forend that overlaps the reciever as well.........So it's still a no go at this point. Dave asked how the 28-2 shot. I told him it was likely one of my best buys yet. I believe that.

Neil still had the Winchester 30/30, and nothing new was out of hock. I probably showed up to early.

Across the river, Amber still had the Taurus Model 80 for $139. That darned gun is talking to me, but I refuse to pay more than a C note for it. It's probably the quentissential gun I should not buy.

Reasons I should NOT buy this Taurus 80:
It's a cheap copy of the S&W Model 10.
It costs $139, a beater Model 10 can be bought for that.
It's nickel and the edges are showing wear.
It's just not interesting enough.
High risk of durability/reliability problems.

Reasons I should buy this Taurus 80:
It's a cheap copy of the S&W Model 10, my favorite gun
It only costs $139, and I can afford that.
It's nickel and that's kind of retro TexMex cool.
It's obviously interesting me.
Possibility of an interesting and reliable gun.

Damn. If Amber would go $100 and give me a money back guarantee, this would be sooooo simple.
