Anybody in WA have their revolver stolen in 1996? Used in three robberies in 2 days (perp released the day before on 2 earlier robberies)

[ilikegunspdx]

Why do they even bother arresting anyone if they are just going to be released to commit more armed robberies the next day.?

Portland police said the suspect's revolver went off during the struggle, but no one was hit. He was charged for a similar robbery the day prior as well.

I like the Single Action Army copy that was used...
Robbin' like it was the 1880"s....

Be a nice fixer upper...
New front sight , ejector rod and housing and grips....all fairly easy fixes.

Looks like maybe a Hawes replica or the similar ...actual leaf spring for a main spring and alloy / aluminum grip frame.

Something seems odd to me about the trigger. I guess it's the profile. Makes me think german-made cheap replica or something. I don't know much about it but that trigger seems odd to me.

Hawes firearms were from Germany....

I know reputable firms like Sauer made SAA clones when these were so popular in western series/movies times. But those all had a tapered/delicate looking trigger like colts and other decent replicas.

I bet there were many companies making cheap "cowboy" guns in the 70's (maybe South America etc)? Just guessing, have never researched it. That trigger looks like a coarsesly made cludge. Even heritage cheapies have a tapered trigger.

Well....
With all the other "customizing" that was done to that poor revolver...
Why would the trigger escape harm...?

We know that 7-11. Drive by it all the time. The place is an effing pit! Some gal splayed/passed out on the bus bench at the corner. Homeless hanging around, filth and garbage. Just within a couple blocks, at times, all directions, hookers displaying their wares. )Shudder(
I've never been in there because of it. The place was a pit even before the city went to crap. I've got to hand it to these folk that come to this country to WORK! And will take on jobs like that.

It seems like any of the 7 elevens are the most dangerous places in the Portland area. Especially at night.

They will want to charge the people who took him down with a crime.

Yeah, in certain neighborhoods for sure. The one by us, NE 60th and Prescott, deals with it's share of crap after hours. It's had the same owner for many years. Middle Eastern of some flavor. Always a serious look on their faces. But they are extremely nice, and friendly. Been there for many years.
