Default Should I have passed?

Saw a gently used 329 with the stainless cylinder and wonder if I should have passed for $729?
What do you guys think?

Until someone pipes in - I did a quick "Auction" search and found them listed from $700.00 (used) to $949.00 (new).

The "3" guns are Airlites - titanium, scandium - right?

An Airlite 44 magnum? Yeah, I'da passed.

Those revolvers made of unobtanium are quite pricey. I would not want to touch off a full power load in .44 mag in one. That price isn't too bad though.

the 329 wasn't the greatest idea they had. its like plugging headphones into a 500W monoblock amp expecting to have a comfortable listening experience ..
NOT
GOING
TO
HAPPEN

if your new to the 44 magnum .. find ye a 629 or a 29 .. leave the 329 to the fans of the LCR

It's an odd gun. I tried to find one to "barrow" a few rounds through, but couldn't find anyone who owned one, so I ended up buying one. I am not really very fond of it, but on the other hand, I would sort of hate to sell it.

Someone must have had the cylinder replaced if you found one with a SS cylinder. Pass or not? I guess I would because it is not a real 329 to me without the Titanium cylinder, but, on the other hand, I wouldn't blame you for buying it, either. Cleaning the Titanium cylinder is always a concern, for me.

So, did you buy it or not?
