Picked up an Ethan Allen .45

[fredrader]

I picked up a NIB Ethan Allen Mod 300 .45cal Target pistol today..It looks pretty and it is made by Hoppe's #9...I tried to look it up on the web but I couldn't find any info on it but it looks nice on the wall.. He wanted $175 for it but I got it for $100 (More than I usually give)But I got it anyway..

Nice, you're picking up blackpowder pistols really quickly. I don't have any yet.

I keep finding em and buying em but I am running out of wall space for all of em..I need one more to fill up the pistol racks I have on the wall..

Thanks for the link and info Zonie,I thought I was paying too much for it when I bought it but it looked neat and came with the box and all the paperwork so I bought it anyway..I am not going to try to shoot it since I don't want to drill it etc..It will look nice on the wall though.. :thumbsup:

I'm jealous! I hit gun shows regularly (I do them for a living) and I almost never see any black powder guns and when I do, they're usually pretty high priced. That's a sweet one! Been looking for one of those myself.
