There is a small shop down south of us a ways in St Charles that I drop into every once in a while. They have quite a bit of different powders and usually have some dies and used guns that you can handle. Well they still have quite a few kinds of powder and lots of 44-40 and 38 40 ammo at about $3 a shot. A few days ago i was there and they had a SIG 40 cal pistol in the case, the only used gun there. And the price was $250 and I said to myself I should buy that but didn't. Today I went back and of course it was gone. I was not too surprised but i did feel a little disappointed. I was prepared to buy it and should have while I saw it. There was a mid 50"s 94 Winchester in 32 Win Special. I think I will go back in a few days and see if it is still there. I never learn.

I've had many of "the one that got away"
Still kick myself on some of them.

Right on highway 52 in the center of St Charles by the traffic light. Coming from Lansing you will go right by it.

Been there done that and have the tee shirt. Used to hit the only gun show around. At that time I was on a 44 special quest. 1st was a 624 with 6.5" barrel. then a 24-3 with 3" barrel and last was another 24-3 with the 4" barrel. Knew if I passed up on any of them and didn't get them someone else would. Frank

Bring Cash when you go back ... much better deals to be had with cash than with plastic !

The old saying,” you snooze, you loose” is so true. Picked up almost full box of 32.20 at flea mkt last week, surprised it was there. Maybe most dont know what they are...
