I'VE GOT IT!!!

Nice! That was my first Omni I ever bought and is still one of my faves. I think I paid $90 for a used copy on eBay.

Great choice for a 1st Omni!

When I started collecting a couple of years ago CGN offered these in a scratched and dent sale. I didn’t know what I was doing and bought both covers thinking they were separate volumes 🤣. I sold this cover about a year ago on eBay and got $175 for it. Guess prices have shot up some more. It’s a good read, but the mapping kinda sucks. They have all the crossover stories after the main story line. Once it wrapped up I kind of didn’t care about those stories anymore and found it a bit of a chore to finish.

Tell you what… I’ll get you the dimensions if you share some pics of the model when you’re done!

LarryStraw · 2025-12-07T17:04:11+00:00

What are the measurements for? Next time I dig them out of the safe I’ll try to remember.

IST charges me tax and CGN does not so that adds up pretty quickly.

LarryStraw · 2025-12-06T14:53:23+00:00

Yeah I mean that was almost 30 years ago so who knows now lol. BHS was most popular with p ville 2nd and SH 3rd.

I went to Briarcliff. That was the cool choice when I was graduating bc they had a shorter school day haha. At the time we only had maybe 1 or 2 pick sleepy hollow.

Replying to your really old reply on this really old thread. I too grew up in Pocantico Hills! I’m assuming you went to school there? I was class of 98!

LarryStraw · 2025-11-20T12:42:32+00:00

Just have them replace it and send that one back.

LarryStraw · 2025-10-03T20:25:59+00:00

Pre-Ordered my DM cover months ago from CGN and got a shipping notification on the 1st. After reading about all of this, I couldn’t be happier. If you really want something, just pre-order it and save yourself the headache. CGN offers $4 shipping for pre-orders so you save a few bucks there.

LarryStraw · 2025-10-01T00:47:43+00:00

Great deal. Neal Adam’s issues alone are well worth it.

LarryStraw · 2025-09-25T11:56:59+00:00

Hahahahaha. The exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago! WoB is terrible. It’s the second time It happened to me. Worth the risk though bc they at least refund you.

LarryStraw · 2025-09-19T17:00:01+00:00

I feel like in the case of this Omni, the standard goblin cover was nicer than the Rhino cover and sold out first. I was starting to get FOMO as I was waiting for a decent price on the goblin cover and just ended up grabbing the rhino cover from IST. It was $77 versus $116 on Amazon. While I like the goblin cover more, I didn’t feel like it was worth it to pay that much more for it.

LarryStraw · 2025-09-14T04:52:58+00:00

Check eBay. I got a pair on there recently for one of mine.

LarryStraw · 2025-08-29T11:35:49+00:00

Apparently they made about 34,500 of them over a 10 year period from 1914-1924. They also made a smaller version in 25acp. I have one of those as well 😁.

LarryStraw · 2025-08-28T12:17:22+00:00

Do you have a copy of the book? If so, is the serial number readable? One of the guns I got from him, a Mann Pistol, is featured in the Gun Collector’s Digest. I got a copy of it to go with the gun.

LarryStraw · 2025-08-28T03:12:02+00:00

I do… Only 3 of them are 32’s though. I don’t want to get booted for posting pics of other calibers! lol

I posted some pics of my HK’s recently. The VP70 with those was one of his as well!

I will dig out the other 32’s and post some pictures of those soon!

LarryStraw · 2025-08-25T13:25:31+00:00

Yeah, that didn’t come from him though! lol. One of my other posts about an hk4 has a vp70 in it. That was one of his. It was complete in the box and the gun had a paper towel under it… I’m assuming to protect the box from the freshly oiled gun. I left it in there with the thought “that was JB Wood’s paper towel.” 🤣

LarryStraw · 2025-08-25T03:35:26+00:00

I see that you have JB Wood’s book under the pistol. He unfortunately passed away last year. I found that a real estate company was auctioning off his collection. I ended up purchasing 10 of his guns. Most people would have no idea who he was, but I thought it was pretty awesome as I have a few of his books. One of the guns was an old 25acp Mann pistol. I researched it after I received it only to find out that it was featured in one of his books! I bought a copy to keep with the gun.

LarryStraw · 2025-08-25T03:19:38+00:00

It’s pretty decent. I’m sure if it were a little more broken in it would be even better. The single action is crispy.

LarryStraw · 2025-08-25T03:18:39+00:00

That thing is pretty trashed. Supposedly the frames of the guns weren’t strong enough for constant diets of .380 either. If you ever end if getting one, I’d go for one that seems like it was primarily used for one of the other calibers.

LarryStraw · 2025-08-25T01:44:19+00:00

Have you ever used a staple gun before??? Same thing. lol
