Traded an old Colt for a new Taurus

shooter

I had this old Colt 22 revolver and was always amazed at how large and heavy it was for a .22 rimfire. This 6 shot revolver was every bit as heavy as my Ruger Security Six .357 magnum and my S&W 686 .357 mag. They all have 4" barrels and the 22 caliber is heavier.

A good friend of mine offered to trade me "even up" for my Colt 22 for his Taurus Model 94 revolver, a 9 shot model. This revolver weighs 35% less than my Colt and holds 50% more ammo!!! What's not to like???

He even threw in a brick of ammo. What a deal!!!!!

Here is the old Colt that only had a six round capacity.




This is my new Taurus model 94 that weighs 30% less and holds 50% more ammo! How can you not appreciate that???

Nice try :jester:

A Colt for a Taurus? You should have also thrown in a couple of $100 to be fair.

Yep, to show him my extensive Taurus collection that I'd be willing to swap straight for his Colts...

The moment I hit the thread link I realized what this was, still too late, I am getting slow in my older age!

Sorry, but after Orchidman got us with his "New Zealand" gun ban, I didn't think it would be easy to get another April Fools Day joke in on you guys. But I had to try. :yikes:

Good one, but don't laugh very hard because someone someplace may have made a deal like that..........:yikes:

I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!

Some people have all the luck!! Why can't I ever find a deal like that?? I've got a pre war artillary Luger I'd like to dump for a Chiapa!!

Orchid man Ruined me. I won't bite on something like that again any time soon. Although I did swap my .270 Win. for a nice 7mm08 Savage yesterday. The barrel on the 7mm08 had never been shot. I said screw the breakin and went and put 60 rounds through it without cleaning. Of course I couldn't get it to group after 10 rounds but that has nothing to do with anything in the real world does it?

No way was I falling for this one. I will admit that if I found you really did, I would have been speechless to say the least and would not have known how to respond in and appropriate way on this forum.:jester:
