Though I got a killer deal on a 1911 colt when I was in high school. Kid said the gun was given to him by family and mom wouldn't let him keep it. I gave him 200 bucks for it. Got to keep it for a couple weeks. Shot WAY better than the lama I had. Found out from a friend that a guy in town had a colt stolen. Left it in an unlocked truck overnight. I showed up at his house and asked if he did lost a colt. He said yes. I then asked if he had the serial number to which he looked sick and said no. He described it down to the T. That's when I probably looked sick and handed him the gun over. Told him the kids name and where to find him. Then to my shock the guy said wait here and came back to his door with 200 dollars for me. There is a 4 inch 686 smith I hope finds its way home someday.
