I wanted but could not afford a nice semi auto pistol in the mid 80s.
A GD got me thinking about how much more relative guns were then.
A Beretta was the equivalent of a thousand today bucks in those days. But relatively much cheaper now.
A Colt SP1 relatively about the same cost then as new 6920 now.
A new IROC Camaro was about 10k. That is about the same as 23000 today dollars. They are relatively much more expensive for the equivalent Camaro now.
I bought a used alloy frame Star 9mm with two mags.
The BKM I believe.
That little not quite a 1911 clone scaled down version of a 45 was very concealable,
And functioned.
And was as accurate as I am now.
I don't know how it would hold up to serious use.
I sold it in the early 90s.
I had paid 110 dollars for it.
That would be like about 250 now.
It was a pleasant surprise I got a working little semi auto.
So, for 250 what can you go out and get a nice little shooter now,
Or what model turned out to be way better than you thought or a steal for what they go for.
