So recently I bought a handful of handguns off of all older gentlemen who was selling everything he had to move out of province. Long story short everything was in great shape he was the only owner and owned most of then since the 80s. While I was firmilar with some of them there are a few I am not quite sure of..


If anyone can chime it with any info and value it would be greatly appreciated.

First is a Astra T99 22 LR target pistol. Don't know anything about this minus it was made in Spain. Lol

Second a Ruger .357 Blackhawk. Blued in amazing condition and it's the 3 screw. Which I think dates it back to the 70s before they switched to 2 screws

Lastly is a ruger p85 9mm pistol. I'm having trouble finding anything on this anywhere ?


Like I said everything is in good condition and shoots great... and info and value would be awesome guys
 
Your Blackhawk was made before '74. What barrel length, the 4 5/8 get a little more money. Load from Half ####, never lower hammer from half ####.

To safely load, hammer to half #### and open loading gate. Insert cartridge, skip hole, fill next 4 holes, in a safe direction close loading gate and bring hammer to full #### and pull trigger while riding hammer forward till it touches frame. Release trigger. If done correctly you are on an empty chamber.

Did it come with (2) cylinders, the second one is 9mm.

Your P85 if not a MKII should have the safety recall done. It is possible for the firearm to discharge from decocking.
 
Has the Blackhawk been "upgraded" with the transfer bar system or is it original?

That will determine value
 
There's a steel plate that moves up and down between the hammer and the frame if it has the bar.

One thing I can tell you about the P85 is the trigger pull is long and annoying.:p
