Good Phone Call This AM

[Hoosier Gun Coat]

Got a call from the Monroe Co. sherrifs dective. One of my P6 that was stolen almost 2 years ago has been recovered in Georgia. Drug Interdiction officers picked it off of a couple drug dealers. The officers found $20K in the trunk along with my P6. It had led a really rough life after it left my house. +1 for the boys in blue!!!

Do you get the $20k along with it?

 

[Colt556]

Wow, That's great for you.

 

[shooter521]

Looks like you'll get to refinish it again!

 

[theweakerbrother]

The good thing (other than it being found) is that you can refinish it yourself. That is great to hear!

 

[Flintlock]

Thankfully the police busted those guys and got your gun out of their hands! Too bad it is in the condition it is in though, but now you can work some of your HGC magic to make it look good again. Give it a new lease on life.

Beat me to it!

 

[Que]

I know a guy who can make it look good as new! I'm glad you got it back.

 

[chezuki]

I bet that gun's been naughty while it was away.

Congrats on getting the gun back.

Imagine if that gun could talk... the stories it could tell!

 

[Bert]

Did you ask how long ago they busted them? Can't get them back till after the trial.evidence

This gun is a really good example of the different types of finishes. If I remember correctly the slide was refinished in Cerekote stainless and the frame in grey parker Duracoat. Looks like the Duracoat didn't hold up as well. Hmmmmm.

I had three Colts and a S&W stolen in 1994. Stories like these give me hope...

 

[Colt556]

The colors look a lot lighter in the other pics. I really like the 1st pic posted. Isn't it harder to get a finish to adhere to the aluminum?

 

[RachelMarie]

Congrats on getting it back. It looks like the thugs droped it a time or two.

 

[EvilleDoug]

Glad to hear you'll be getting one of the toys back. Do you think it will remember you?

 

[ryanrw]

Awesome story. Thanks for sharing! I hope I get the same call someday, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Jon Craig]

Wow. I'm kind of surprised they sent it back to you, instead of saying "oh, it's being used as evidence, you might get it back after the trial in 5 years... oh, and we'll need $100 for shipping..."

 

[HandK]

Glad to hear you got it back, I have had a couple of guns stolen in the past and also lucky enough to get them back!! one was my Dads gun I had to have it reblued but at least I got it back.

 

[Panama]

Congrats on it finally coming back to you.

Pretty remarkable, bet you never thought you would see that gun again.

Kinda like a lost dog though, makes you wonder how the HELL it got all the way down to Georgia!
