No bargains to be had in Pakistan in firearms, it seems. I ran some of the prices through xe.com, a currency converter website.

A S&W Model 10 for $832? I could buy two of those for that at my local gun shop, and still have enough money left to buy ammo!

A Taurus M1911 for $775? Screw that! DogZebra didn't pay that much for his Rock Island Armory M1911 in stainless steel with an accessory rail PLUS the Novak night sights he is adding to it!

The only "bargain" on that list is the locally made Tokarev at $88. Of course, you do have to worry about it blowing up in your hand when you shoot it ...

I think I'll just keep buying my guns locally and ignore the Pakistani gun bazaars, thank you just the same.
