My dad had one of these when I was younger... which he would tell me how he would stuff it in his sock when we went into the city. Was a nickel one, that he sold to my brother-in-law... who might still have it (I specifically don’t talk guns with him, since I get tired when he argues the Judge is the perfect revolver for self-defense).
So, I recently picked up an Iver Johnson Cadet 55-S to complete my small collection of the firearms related to the two Kennedy assassinations (Carcano, S&W Victory, and Colt Cobra already acquired). The dealer I got it from has a black Raven P-25... which is an early example that is considered C&R. Ok price, and then gun is in decent condition (a little wear, but so what on a 50+ year old gun?).
Am I suffering from the ‘Rona... as I kind of want to pick it up? I wouldn’t buy one and have to go through a FFL-01 for, since the transfer fee would make it too much for my tastes. Right to my door... I can accept it.
I already have a Colt Vest Pocket, which is the extent of my .25 collection. Do have larger pocket guns; Walther PP, Ruger LCP, SIG P938, and NAA Sidewinder. Not likely going to be any more than a plinker. How do these sub-$100 pistols hold up over time? Or should I just say no?
