Pistol Sock value

[LonesomePigeon]

A black USFA pistol sock on gunbroker just sold for $71.75 with 5 different bidders bidding. Is that a typical price?

I guess it was worth that to somebody.

Someone probably lost one in the wash and really wanted one to have a set.

Didn't you read?  They're "Very hard to come by." 

Plus, shipping was a mere $9.00 on top.

Wow.

[Major 2]

That kinda money , somebody's forge them & sell them to that "guy" who's money is soon parted.


A Crown Royal bag and you are 1/2 way there

There is a cult following of sorts when it coms to anything USFA. Colt's are the same.  I've seen a black Colt SAA box go for  > $200.00.

2nd gen collectors aren't near as bad though.

Scheesh.  I get a bag of 6 pair of socks from Duluth Trading Co. for 25 Bucks.

Maybe it's a magic sock. Put any gun in there for 10 minutes and it comes out perfectly timed, perfect fit and finish and perfectly sighted in?

I'd give $71.25 plus shipping for one that would do all that!

A sandwich from your favorite  ,  has value ....the sack it came in    is just the sack

[Texas John Ringo]

In San Francisco at Burger King, a carry out sack cost $00.10

Don't laugh.  USFAs supposedly came that way.

[LonesomePigeon]

Oh I wasn't laughing. I meant you put any other gun in the sock and it comes out perfect like a USFA.

[Capt. John Fitzgerald]

Is that it?  Have LondsomePigeon and Fingers McGee finally uncovered USFA's secret to success?

Those pistol "socks" are made by the Ideal Outdoor Manufacturing Company in Sykesville Pennsylvania. (idealoutdoorstyle.net) I saw their label on my USFA sock and ordered several more from them, plain - no logos -  for my other handguns. They cost a lot less than $71! I tried lookin at their website tonight but the product illustrations were not functional and I couldn't find prices. Maybe their IT system is being repaired?

A simple silk-screen job can turn that 'Ideal Outdoor Manufacturing Company' sock into something pretty special, can't it?

Food for thought...

Scouts Out!
