NO NO, Don't buy that old Browning for $450. Offer him $100 for the pair and no more. By the way, what is this gentleman's name and where is he? I'd like to have a word or two with him

Don't buy the Browning. It's cursed. Have him contact me immediately. Only I know what needs to happen to it.

Well I bought the pair of pistols. I am unsure if I like the Browing or not, I have only had time to fire off 2 clips so far. One of the clips tends to make the gun jam and the other clip(aftermarket) seems to be just fine which makes me think that the problem is the clip being worn out. I want to play with it some more before I decide what to do with it. I am thinking that I might actually sell it and buy a nice concealable pistol for when I get my permit. I will try to get some pictures of it soon.
Thanks to all for your input on this purchase.
