Many LGS like having a law away because each time the person comes in to make a payment they just might be buying, or in your case trading, for another gun.
How is the trigger on the SP you just got? I would like to see your range report on it.
I just fired two cylinders full. I shot the first cylinder single action, the second double action. Target was a clay pigeon. Took a couple of shots to hit the pigeon, shooting high. Took a low 6 o'clock hold and busted the pigeon. Was able to stay on after that. I would guess the single action at about 4 pounds, maybe a little less Not as light as my Single Six, about the same as the LCRX. Double action I would guess is about 11 or 12 pounds. My trigger scale only goes to 10 pounds and I am sure it will be beyond the scales capacity. Again the pull is similar to the LCRX, but the LCRX was actually a little smoother. The LCRX was shot a bit though and maybe the trigger had smoothed some. Maybe the SP101 trigger will do the same. Anyway, it shot well enough that the remains of the clay pigeon was ducking. It's going to be single action to hit a squirrel heat at 20 yards though, as I figured it would be. The SP101 feels at least twice as heavy as the LCRX. The Ruger site says it is just a bit less than 2 pounds and the LCRX is right at 1 pound, but the SP101 sure feels heavier, guess the balance point is just further forward .
Oh, and the SP101 dosent fit the LCRX holster either. I thought the barrel would just stick out the bottom, but the trigger guard just dosent fit, leaves the trigger exposed. Guess I'll have to call MTR Custom Leather Monday and order another holster.
Maybe I won't have so many honey-doos next weekend and can get to the range or the farm and put it on paper.
I am hoping I did well, I believe I did ok. He had the SP101 priced at $599. I checked Gun Genie and the best price I found locally was $633 and some change out the door. I paid $433 and some change for the LCRX just a short while ago, ( I have never kept a gun such a short time
) and the R92 would sell for about $100 to about $225 depending on if you found a collector or not. I don't know how much retail is, but when the owner was thing about the trade he told me to let him see how much he had in it. I'm pretty sure his son said $525, but he was across the room and I don't really hear well. I had asked for $650 for my trade in store credit and he would not do it, but he did make a straight up trade.
