An MK9 Duo Tone Odyssey

[RevRay]

19 hours to go with 1 bid at $619 on the LTD, if that's you I sure hope you win it

It's not me. I'm a cheapskate at heart, so I'm biding my time to see things play out. He still has 5-6 more he needs to try and sell. Also, I'm not going to do anything until I have my permit we'll in hand.

I don't mean to be beating a dead horse, but sometimes things can just get strange. I've been watching the MK9 Duo Tones that a dealer in Scottsdale, AZ, has been trying to sell for a couple of weeks now. He had 9 to sell and I think he still has 6 left that he's trying to sell one at a time.

Anyway, here's a link to one that he's trying to sell with a serial # LTD 173 ... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=336291545

And now a dealer up in Kalamazoo, MI, has listed one with a serial # LTD172 ... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=336793591

How weird is that?

I dont feel you beating a dead horse, I love when a thread go's this long, it's like reading a book, you know where it starts and ends, if a new thread gets started the story my get lost!

As far as the ser# go, if I have learned anything from collecting Rugers it's you never know when or where you'll find the consecutive number.

It makes me happy knowing I am not alone with my so called "obsessions" as my wife likes to call them.

I think your wife would probably enjoy meeting my wife ... that is the precise word my wife has used on me.

Should I feel good or bad, I don't recall my wife ever using that one on me. Many others but never obsessed.

Those both look real good. The used one looks better than the NIB but it's probably lint or just a lousy picture.

Since these were limited I assume they probably went out in small lots or individually to distributors. Has to be a line some place so the next serial number in sequence could easily be opposite end of the country.

I'd watch for awhile, throw in a bid a day or two before it ends and try to nail it. I don't like last minute snipers but again there is a 15 minute rule so that helps.

My crystal ball sees one of these in your future, might as well not dink around, just make it happen since I feel it in my cells.
See if the wife buys that one. If she does, no charge I do this as a public service.

I expect you're right, Bawanna, but I'm actually enjoying dragging it out. Once I pull the trigger ... that's it.

Re: MK9 Duo Tone

FYI, the one with serial number LTD173 is the same one that sold (by the same seller) a couple weeks ago...

Hey Rev have u checked gunsamerica.com they have a used duo on there with 4 mags, holster and a wolff guide rod. I've never bought from there site but maybe someone here has. I thought I'd help in your search.

[jocko]

kinda odd that all of a sudden we are seeing alot of MK due tone's for sale. I wonder if this is a special run lately by kahr or that they found these back in storage and now are releasing them. I sure would liketo see some in Jeepster09 green finish

I am aware of that listing, and in fact I just emailed the seller earlier today just to make sure it was still available. I have to say I'm somewhat on the fence on that one. I'm not sure I want to spend the extra money for the holsters and mags that I'm not sure I need yet.

I'm new to all this stuff ... heck, I've only had my permit and gun for three days. And when you count the cost of my permit, the ammunition I've collected, and my gun which I haven't even fired yet, I'm already into this by about $1,800. So part of me is not ready to lay down hundreds of more dollars just yet. However, I'm pretty sure I'll end up there at some point down the road.

Not only am I a new member...........I happen to be a new owner of an MK9 with birdsong slide. By the way, those weren't scratches, it was lint.

How did I miss this post? Which one did you end up with? Your reference to the scratches would have me believe you bought the GD0002 one? If so ... good for you.

[berettabone]

No, I bought one of the birdsongs..............took it to the range, it was a beautiful thing...........150 rds. of Fiocchi without a hitch, 50 rds. of Blazer.....3 fte's with the Blazer.......was either me getting tired or the Blazer was a bit weaker, or both. Payed a bit more than I wanted, but I was suprised at the accuracy. Polished up the ramp a bit. It replaced a Bodyguard that I carried. No comparison.
