I've impulse bought two of them, and never regretted it for a second! The one with the Pachmayrs was a "throw in" when I was doing a deal for a Ruger GP100, the guy was like "You can take the 581 for $330 if you want that one too" and I couldn't accept fast enough. It was a personal purchase duty gun that was carried by a Memphis TN police officer, who sold it to the guy I bought it from. Love is a great thing, the guy was liquididating his large PD trade in revolver collection to pay for his daughter's wedding so he was selling revolvers as fast as he could get them out the door for whatever he could get for them fast.......his daughter must be really special, hope the guy she married was worth it haha!
Good move asking for what they have in the back, someone else would have snatched that up as soon as it hit the case......reminds me of the Model 60 I bought at Gander Mt. for $220, a guy just handed it back to the clerk and said he had to pick his wife up at the mall and he would come back and buy it...I told the clerk to not even bother putting the trigger lock back on because I was taking it........well, the other guy's wife cost him a $220 Model 60! Should have told her to wait hahaha
I would pay $400 for that nickeled one in a second, also looking for a 681!
