Another old boat anchor.

Jason Mariano (https://www.instagram.com/vintagegunleathertoday/) is serving as Red Nichol's distributor for his new "Old School" holster line that now includes fits for 3rd Gen Smiths (and Beretta 92s, Sig P-series, BHPs, and of course 1911s, but not Glocks). I have a 'Beat the Devil' avenger from Red that is a fucking work of art. The new line is a little more simple, but I have no doubt it is just as amazing. Red's work is, single handedly, the finest leather I've ever seen. Here's a pick from Jason showing a Smith 1076 in Red's new "Indiscreet" scabbard.

Nice!

now you need a 4516 to complete the trio!

Very nice pistol at a nice price. Congrats.

Clean looking. I love it; congrats on the find. I’d leave the sights alone; they’re part of the zeitgeist. Plus, fuck it, you’re not getting any younger. Someday, you may be glad to have the gun, as is.

All very true. I'm going to shoot it first, then make my ultimate decision. If they work well enough I may just leave them. They aren't cheap sights either.

Great snag! I keep contemplating a 4566 or a 4506. Then the 1911's in the safe give me hurtful looks, and you know the rest.

Do you already have a good supply of mags?

My current tally is eight, once that gets to around an even dozen I'll feel better. For my working guns I normally keep 25-30 mags on hand. However, since these are really just occasional fun guns 12 should do.

Someone on a local board has an unfired 6906 with 11 magazines but no box and is asking $725.

I do not know if that is a reasonable price as I do not keep up with them.

That's a bit high, even with mags.

I also think that's high but it wouldn't totally surprise me if someone bought it for that.

If you calculate it at $400 for the gun+1 mag, and $25-$30 per for the other 10, it’d be $250-$300 for the mags, so $650-$700 total would be absolutely the most it should go for. Right now, anyway.
