I never walk away to think.
Not looking for another 4 in., irrelevant
That condition, that price, in front of me,
three words to the guy on the other side of the counter....
Wrap It Up.

Have you bought it yet?
I own 2 44's, and I am not looking for another, but I would buy that. Not sure why. but I am stuck on 1911/s at the moment
This hobby has direct mathematical equations that tell you when to buy
If you really think that a 29-2 for $1000 is a great deal you really need to sit back and apply some mathematical equations to the numbers, just like I do. THEN....and only then can you apply a "factor"...there are three.
Once you have calculated the numbers, then applied the correct factor you are ready to make your play, and if you have done everything right, the gun comes home with you and everyone is satisfied.
First...the numbers: I was born in 1945, and the average annual salary of a working man was $2310. running a inflation calculator backwards $1000 today = $57.38 in 1945, or 2-1/2 % of a mans annual salary.
2024 average working mans annual salary is $56000 and $1000 represents only 1.8% so the gun bought now for $1,000 is cheaper than the same gun bought in 1945!
Second...the "factors" as I said there are only 3 of them:
1. IIBE (If I Buy Early) = asking price PLUS
2. IIGSD (If I Get a Screaming Deal) = asking price MINUS
3. IWIN (I Want It Now) = whatever will be ......will be
Obviously you can see that my method is the absolute best at obtaining decent calculations before the art of the deal is applied AND if you follow up with "winning factor" you will always be happy....no buyers remorse.
Below examples were all obtained by forgetting all calculations, but applying the I WIN factor.

I have to chuckle at that sentiment, because the gun is older than me, and I am planning for retirement.

That too is a worthy endeavor. AFAIC if S&W revolvers and 1911's (any quality brand) were the only types of handguns in existence, we'd be just fine. Well maybe include BHP's too.I own 2 44's, and I am not looking for another, but I would buy that. Not sure why. but I am stuck on 1911/s at the moment
That would fall right in line with my other S&W's. Once they get back past the mid-60's they tend to get more expensive than I can reasonably afford. Doesn't mean I wouldn't want a 4 or 5 screw gun though.
I hope you got it!
Congratulations on finding a deal like that.

Agree Hair! I’m trying to cross that line. These other models pushing the $1000/1500 keep interrupting the big plan. I just can’t wait that long between purchases. Lol.
Did you get it? Inquiring minds want to know.
