The Bauer .25 ACP (arrived Monday) next to my first wheel gun..a S&W 66-3 .357 magnum 6" brl (arrived today)
The Bauer, from my google-net research on the innernets, appears to be a lower to mid-range S/N in the 32,000 range (they made them between 1971 and 1984, essentially a baby browning knock off), indicates it should be about my graduation year, 1978.:) The Bauer .25 ACP was determined to be UNFIRED after inspection and field strip!
The S&W .357 mag was cleaner, less fired than what I expected based on pictures of the auction. Turn lines on the cylinder? I couldn't detect ANY!
I couldn't be happier for these two purchases. No buyers remorse! (Pistol for wife's birthday and the magnum because I felt inferior after handling the .25 ACP)
A shout out to Paul Notch, of Notch's Iron Works in Puyallup (Right off Canyon Road) that has done seemless transactions for delivery of my last 6 firearms and seemless easy I-594 transitions for a mere $20, pistol or rifle. Thank you Paul Notch!

Beautiful! When I get home I have a picture I'd like to add with your permission.
Can you say FN Baby Browning next to S&W XVR? :)

I came here expecting to see a Luger.
Still wasn't disappointing.

Still wasn't disappointing. Ahh! Yeah, that would have been more appropriate, Luger P08. :)

Man I thought mine was small. I bought a .32ACP just to have those tiny rounds. Now I want a .25ACP. Thanks for that.
Beauty Revolver as well. VERY NICE PAIR!
