Gone with BIN! Man that was fast but from a purely self serving point of view I am glad to see the price it brought.

Oh the price made me moan.
Around 2001 a shooting friend offered to sell me his for $1200
They were selling on Gunbroker at the time for around $1600.
I did the right thing and told him so, and that he should sell it there.
And I've been kicking myself ever since.

Late 70's early 80's Bill would walk the gun show at the Astro Hall in Houston showing his design and trying to get orders. If we only knew then but at the time many tables had the Colt shopkeeper/sheriffs model in the little glass dome for sale at around five hundred with talking and they were Colts.

I'm a little gratified that my survey form was included as part of the paperwork provenance of the gun.  |

Gone with BIN! Man that was fast but from a purely self serving point of view I am glad to see the price it brought. Indeed. One of my fondest gun related memories is the afternoon I spent with Bill at his house/shop when I ordered mine. |

I thought about Bill Grover today as I packed his personal TLA Border Special on my 6 hour mule ride in the hills. The new holster Mike Barranti made for me kept the gun safe and secure under my coat but it was something special to just feel it there as I was out in the woods. I couldn't help but think Bill would have been grinning to see it packed like that. I actually carried it in hopes of running into a blacktail buck but the western Oregon alpha predator, the mountain line have decimated the deer numbers.

Glad to hear that gun hit the trail with you, Robb. It is an easy packin' sixgun, for sure.
