I have just bought a second hand Model 96 Professional in .22lr.
I bought it to compliment the Colt Python I have....the weight and the size are practically identical so I am looking forward to lot's of cheap practise with the 96 to help me shoot the Python better......well, that's how I justified it's purchase to the wife....actually it is a beautiful gun and it looks like a lot of fun to shoot!
The fit and finish is perfect and it's lock up is only just behind the Pythons......I guess it has hardly been used so one man's loss is my gain......and at a fabulous price!
Please can anybody tell me when my gun was made, the serial number is PE 398xxx and can anybody tell me about the history of the Model 96 Professional?......I have looked on the web but cannot find any details of the models history, many thanks in anticipation.
Safe shooting
