I took my 597 to a dealer to trade towards a different 22 ( see my previous post). He was interested in doing a trade until I took the 597 out of it's case. He saw it and stated he wasn't looking to bring any more of "those things" into his shop. Now i've dealt with this guy for years and respect his opinions. He has done custom work for me and sells reputable products. I WILL find a place to sell or trade this baby,I guess it won't be there!
