Just found a 642 pro (aka no IL and moon cut out) at my lgs for 409 plus tax brand new in box. First good price I've seen on a j frame new or used since the scare begun.

Yes, the prices have come down, and availability is much better; picked this up last week for $399.00 from my LGS...



....and they now come in the plastic case, with two grips, a pink and a black synthetic rubber boot grip.
