They normally go for about 100 to 160 $.
Would you like to take a look than go for: eGun - Der Marktplatz für Jäger, Schützen und Angler
A good example is this one: eGun
Or just browse: eGun
Why are they so expensive in your country? Otherwise I could also ask:
Why are they so cheap here in Europe, especially in Germany.
The answer: Any one wants big bore starting with 357/38.
And we are restricted by law to just a certain amount of handguns unless you are intensively do target shooting at championships or you have a special collector's licence.
As the normal hunter or target shooter you may have just two handguns. |
Part of the reason is what you mentioned as we are not limited to the number of handguns we can own and secondly center fire pistol ammo is expensive and hard to even find sometimes. A brick of 500/550 22LR shells costs $18 and provides hours of fun shooting pleasure. Also they are extremely well made revolvers and were made in somewhat limited quantities and so we buy them when we find a really clean one. That plus they have become very popular in the past to year because of what I mentioned and they don't stay on shelves long and this is especially true of the P&R versions.
