It was a nice revolver but dang, there are just so many better options for Home Defense these days for $400 that I can't see putting that into a revolver and I DO love revolvers. Just not going to give my left gonad for one. 
P.S.
I guess I could always jump on the ol' band wagon and list my 642-2 for sale at $500 bucks, someone would appreciate this "classic" revolver enough to pay that price for it. LOL |
several observations:
everyone does not own a handgun simply for home protection...there are many other uses
the prices you quote relating to "to high" "i wouldn't pay that etc" are not realistic in todays market...not saying one cannot luck up on a great deal from time to time but overall they sell for more
you apparently have a need (or desire) for a large number of rounds...everyone doesn't...
you mention you would not pay more than $400 for ANY S&W revolver..thats fine..more for me!i'll be glad to pay $401 for that beautiful registered magnum!
