Bought a used Perazzi

Went to my lgs/range for some pistol shooting this past weekend and saw a Perazzi TM1 on the used rack. Even though it is an older gun, it has been well maintained and I was told it was gotten from an estate where the widow sold off all her husband's guns. It came with a leather bound case that looks more like a business man's attache than a gun case. Also came with the parts for a release trigger conversion. I got it out the door for $1700. If the weather holds, I'll take it out this weekend.

First Time I ever heard of a Shotgun becoming and Safe Jester.............

Nice

, I believe it was Pagliacci who was the jester (clown), not Perazzi.

I must have led a sheltered life. Not sure what a safe jester is. I know who Paliacci is but opera isn't my favorite thing.

You've done very well for yourself for that price. That gun would easily fetch $2500 to $3000 around here. And ... it will last you a lifetime. Very nice!

Thanks mprimo. I've been researching which trap gun I wanted to buy for a while now and was pretty much settled on the Browning..either the XT or the BT99.. until I saw this in the shop. I have to admit that it was somewhat of an impulse buy but I think I did okay in both price and quality.
