Guys, please tell me I didn't just over bid on this thing!

Philly, I have mixed emotions about that very pistol. I had a really shiny brand new one in nickel or stainless in the 80's and traded it away because of chronic stovepipes. (The guy who got it knew about the issues and was willing to work with it.) But with that said, I wish I still had it... sorta.

I keep second-guessing myself because I never took the time to try different combinations of springs, ejectors, etc. If I had, and got it right, it would be unlike anything owned by anyone I know.

For me to get another, I'd have to put it through its paces first and be satisfied with the performance. So I would not go the auction route.

Good luck, and let us know!

 

Well, it has 16 bids on it, current bid is $505 and there are still eight days of the auction left.
Chances are someone will out bid you and let you off the hook if you decide you don't want it.

 

If someone outbids you, JUST WALK AWAY!

 

Sell it to some OG on the street for a drop gun probably get $600.


(Kidding!)

 

I wonder what John Moses would have thought about that conversion.

The seller has an original Seecamp for sale for only $200.00 more.

 

I had one of these back in the day, it had a gosh awful long heavy DA pull, I mean like 19 lbs

 

Hey Chee-to, other than that, how did it work for you?

It's bugged me for 30 decades wondering if I should've kept mine and done the work.

Ooops! that's 30 years/3 decades

 

30 decades! how flippin old are you anyway? LOL

 

Holy crap! I meant 30 years/3 decades. I'll be 60 next year.

Think I'll go edit my post. Wait... what were we talking about? Dammit, I forgot!!!

 

This makes me think 60 bucks might have been a better bid.

 

I wouldn't trust you with the lime in the coconut.

 

odd. - I have an ODI viking slide (commander size) that I picked up years ago that runs fine after I hogged out the ejection port on the mill. The one you had bid on doesn't have the roll stamp on the slide that mine does - then again mine wasn't converted for DA.

 

You can always keep an eye out for a Colt Double Eagle.

 

I think I just vomited a little.

Actually the CDE and the ODI are similar in a lot of ways. Horrible long trigger pull, not many made, working on them can be a nightmare and unless it's an original Seecamp, you can't trust your life with one.

 

You could always attempt to drop the hammer. I think they have picture books these days and it's not really complicated. knock on wood
