Re: Weird!
Probably selling it because Galco or Bianchi doesn't offer a holster that fits.
I would not be surprised if it was from here in Elk Co. There's a widespread belief that no firearm can be fired let alone fired accurately unless scoped. The local gun shops think it's a marvelous concept. But jaws drop on other folks at the range when I ring the 440 yd gong repeatedly with an unscoped rifle, offhand -- Marlin levergun, M1 Rifle, FAL, Kar98k, Swede Mauser, sporterized Krag, AR, whatever.
My youngest was hitting the 440 yd gong open-sighted with a 223 Saiga one range trip when two of her former HS classmates could not get a scoped AK on paper at 100 yds, with a chintzy AK topcover mount. "How is it possible that you can hit that gong?" they asked.
Lack of preconceived notions, and a father and late grandfather who hunted with open sights or receiver sights.

Isn't the scope on backwards? Makes it even dumber. If that is possible.

Re: Weird!
yes the scope is on backwards. also it is a rifle scope. which means it would be almost impossible to shoot.
now I have seen scopes mounted on short barreled pistols. they were used in bulls eye shooting. less barrel time means less time to pull the shot off.

Re: Weird!
Yes, it is backwards. It also looks like a rifle scope so eye relief would be a bit of an issue.

Re: Weird!
And the gun is an RG so the scope and mount are probably worth more than the pistol!
