In what seems like a never ending search for a 6" Webley Exhibition (over a year), my weekly EBay forage came up short once again 
. Not having the option to buy new here in the states, second hand is the only way to go. This weekly "search" however, is costing me $$$ !! 
In a year's time, no Webley, BUT, I did come across not one, but two excellent condition Tanfoglio Gold Customs, a very nice chrome 6" Colt Python, an Umarex .177 black Desert Eagle, an all black (no writing at all) 8" Dan Wesson revolver (1st gen), 2 Derringers (6MM)..........BUT NO WEBLEY !........UGH !! 
Sooooo, what's to change this week ? Nothing ! No luck on the Exhibition, but there she was, just sitting there like a sole twinkling star just beckoning to be bought 
........a like new second hand nickel with wood grips, Walther CP 88 Competition ! This was the one gun I drooled over, but couldn't locate over a year ago when I bought my first nickel/wood Beretta 92FS. Always pictured them sitting next to each other, whether it be on a shelf, or atop a shooting bench. Well, had to have it, so I paid the buy now price of $250. Now for $240, I could easily have purchased a brand new all black version still sold here, however it's not the nickel/wood CP 88 I wanted . .....................and so it continues, not coming home with what I was initially looking for, but dolling out a fist full of cash because another "gotta have it" got the best of me once again..... 
Just received the gun, narely a mark on it. Slide spring still strong, release lever still stiff. Locks up tight. All OEM paperwork included in factory Walther case. No leaks. Now off to the range once this rain stops, which looks like the entire week ahead
From what I understand, these guns shoot either exceptionally straight
.......or they don't 
. Either way, I'll have a hoot shooting this little gem...
