No Guns, No Service

After work today, I drove to Kenny's shop to see what he had on the shelves. He had sold the reblued Victory Model that he had. I'm wanting my next Victory to be in better shape than that one was, preferably with US Property markings. They are, however, getting harder and harder to find. Kenny did not have any other new guns, so I eyeballed the tools. There was nothing new there either.

While I was on Kenny's side of town, I decided to drive over to the pawn shop that had the round butt Model 10 a couple of weeks ago. I had a couple of Franklins in my wallet to offer for it, so I decided to take a chance. a cowbell rang as I walked through the door, announcing my presence. The same sales lady as before looked my way as I approached the gun case. The round butt Model 10 was still in the case, priced at $229. I waited in front of the gun case for several minutes, and I was once again ignored by the young lady behind the counter.

I have heard that there is a gun show coming up this weekend, although I have not seen any signs or advertisments. I decided to just save my money and check the next gunshow. Perhaps I can find a round butt Model 10 with a three inch barrel, a bull barrel, or possibly all three features. I gazed at the Model 10 through the glass, looked at the saleslady across the empty shop, turned, and walked out.
