for-sale Two old-school carry guns need new loving homes PHOTOS ADDED

[Whisper]

I need room in the safe, so here are two old-school carry guns ready for adoption.  These are a couple of classics that in very good condition and with lots of life left in them.

1.  S&W .457 .45 ACP -- It's been eclipsed now by the Shield .45, but for a while this was the smallest and lightest .45 ACP that S&W offered.  Bobbed hammer and one-sided safety show this was designed to be carried as discreetly as it was possible for a .45 with the same capacity as a full-size 1911.  The main criticism of these guns in the used market today is that it they don't share magazines with many other S&W semiautos, so mags aren't plentiful and are frighteningly expensive when you can find them.  (There are some for sale on GB right now for more than $150 each.)  But fear not -- Uncle Whisper has you covered.  This little gem comes with five magazines, so you don't have to worry how you'll get more if you lose one.  If you lose four, then you'll be in trouble, but you're not that careless, are you?  $575 to a TN resident legally able to purchase handguns. PENDING

2.  SIG P239 9mm -- I sold my other P239s but held onto this one because it has the Von Stavenhagen sights that I prefer on SIGs, but now it's time to let it go as well.  This one has Hogue G10 grips because I thought the OEM plastic grips were just a bit too small and slick.  It's a great-handling little gun.  The P239 hasn't been discontinued that long, and magazines are still available from all the usual places, but this gun is well prepared already -- it has four factory SIG magazines; three standard-size magazines plus a 10-round extended mag.  $550 to a TN resident legally able to purchase handguns.

I live in Chattanooga and will travel a reasonable distance for a deal.  Trades considered, but I'm not really looking for much these days except a 12-gauge Browning Automatic 5, which I want for an SBS conversion, or a Marlin 336 in .30-30.  I probably don't need any more ARs or plastic handguns

Thanks for looking,

Whisper

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.
