I am looking at a made in 2017 S&W 41 in the 7 inch barrel. Mint.
Looks like it had been shot 200 times maybe no mark that I can see. It’s at a gun shop 1 hr from me on consignment. Asking price is $1100.00. Comes with 4 magazines and original blue plastic blue box. A lot of money for a used gun with out shooting it.
I need to talk to the owner and find out a little more about the pistol.
My question is what would be the obvious things I should be looking at ? I don’t think the Gun shop owner would let me break it down in couple of pieces but maybe give him $10.00 for the donut fund and he might. I have a rough decision to make. I have narrowed my choice down between the above Gun and the Volquartsen black mamba 6 inch barrel with piccaney rail and iron sights. Plan is to buy a nice red dot for the pistol I choose here.
My Freind has had both and said Marty when you get 90 and kids are planning to put you in nursing home the S&W 41 7 inch barrel will hold its resale value better than the Volquartsen black Mamba.
I am Not sure of that but my 90 year old Freind is going through that right now. What say you ? Thanks guys. MD
