A nice 7.65mm P220 complete with the original walnut grips. Also included in the deal was a laser from Laser Devices complete with the pressure switch from the early nineties. Two magazines rounded out the deal. One seems to be the original and the other magazine looks like it came later.
I couldn't post this without the obligatory pic. Looks like I'll be needing more ammo.

I always chuckle at all of us chasing the next tac light or the new hot red dot etc. etc. and I guarantee that old 220 with that olllldddd school laser made somebody a FINE home protector and there are many others like this. I love it.
That particular gun is so cool.

cslinger, are old lights and lasers the next generation of ultra-cool collectibles? That does look a lot cooler than the old tube-on-top lasers (and some flashlights, back when!).

Look at some of the prices vintage Surefire stuff can bring and all the people wanting to build various period correct setups. I think we are seeing this now.

I checked back with the guy I had bought this from. He said he also had lasers for a P226, Glock, Beretta, Desert Eagle, and a rifle. I think it is interesting that the labels on these have the day it was made printed on them. I don't know why, maybe the manufacturers OCD is worse than mine?
While he wouldn't let go of the Beretta laser, he decided to sell me the rest of them. I can't imagine what some of these cost back then. The rail mount laser for the rifle was made in July of 1989.
