Yes but you did better. Yours is better looking, cost less and came with a letter!:p
Mine is butt ugly, cost too much, No letter and the thumb safety screw is wrong.:(
YOU WIN! LOL.

Out of respect for your psychological health and well being, for a limited time, I will agree to relieve you of this "ugly" burden for a nominal fee.

When I get out of this self-imposed exile, I am going to seek out a fave LGS and watch for old gems to trickle in. I can't stand being on the sidelines anymore!

With mentalapse's display of Mass OCD with his Bushing 380 hammerles...
(did you see his number 82, WOW.) I had to come up with something.

I did...but failed to get a good picture of the hoard of Bushing 380 hammerless
found in my safe tonight. Once again proving I don't take very good pictures.
However in the spirit of fair play I will show them anyway and hoist the "Jolly Roger"
and go out hunting for more.

It didn't turn out to well with the small labels,
so I tried bigger. Still sucks.:(
Also since 380 713 has not arrived yet from
the GB sale, I used a stunt double to take it's place.

Boy o Boy, do I feel humble!!!! Tried to play. Should have known better. :cool: At least with my disguise, you can't tell who I am. Great collection.

I think that Colt's officially made only 13 of them. We'd better hurry...

While I consider ei8ht to be a BB .380 hoarder of considerable note, he is by no means unique in that regard, or the "worst" I've seen. I spoke with a guy recently who collects Mauser 1906/35 Portuguese GNR contract Lugers (asking about details for the one I was buying). Only 564 were ever made and ~150 or so have been reported. This guy has over 70 of them all by himself. That's just remarkable, especially for a $3K+ gun.

Yikes...Hoarder and worst are such negative terms...

Would much rather be called a "Accumulator"or "Collector".
Although collector would sound like a knowledgeable expert and would be incorrect.
Only a admirer and student of the hammerless.:p
