This is a great story, that would be one gun I would never sell. Waiting for the range update. I can't help but imagine this is how you answered the door lol.

Looks like it turned out pretty well, congrats!

LOL ya except I ran out and waited on the front lawn and flagged him down , as soon as he told me he was on his way .

Congrats on its return, I'm sure that doesn't happen too often.

Wow, that's awesome! Super nice gun that you got back. I'm curious if they ever fired it (the criminals).

Probably what I would of done. I can't imagine the panic attack and brain hemorrhage an anti would of had if they seen a LEO handing a handgun back to a citizen. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy just thinking about it.

congratulations, i love a happy ending! it looks like it's in the same condition it left, hopefully it was never fired in any actual crime.

It may be hard for a newfie to understand, but how is asking the guy about if it was covered under insurance a political thing?

Pretty ignorant comment IMO. I know a newfie engineer who moves offshore oil rigs, bet he makes more in a month than you do in a year.

beautiful story :'-D loved the happy ending - of the much loved .45 being reunited

 

[garybusey]

haha that's so awesome after 5 years that it made it's way back to you in better condition that I would have imagined. as I was reading through the pages of this post start to finish I was like "oh god" and then "LOL YAY". it also seems crazy the cops returned a dirty firearm to you, who knows what it could have done in that 5 years lol. congrats on finally getting her home!

 

[HammerHeade]

I hope you invited the officer to shoot it at the range.

The Silver Lining is that the gun now has "Provenance" which is ironclad via the Serial #..
Congratulations

I hope the bastards that stole it get done as dry as they left your piece. Fu@king savages.
