640-1 price check

[S&W Fan]

A local shop has a very clean 640-1, the one without the lock and 2" lug barrel, priced @ $475, that one of my sons is considering. The store will probably drop $50 or bucks on the price but then there's still taxes (guns/ammo have an additional 6.5% here now) and the background check fee. Decent price? J frames aren't in my wheelhouse so any advice appreciated.

That's dirt cheap at $425.

For the love of God, man! Go and buy that right now. It will not stay in the case for that price unless your gunshop only has mall ninjas and overweight wannabes as customers.

Thats a really good price, the -1s I've looked at are 700 plus

That's awesome lol ^. They do get a few discerning customers and items but mostly it's plastic fantastic. Snubbies sit for awhile.

My son went today again to look at it. He has a number of nice items but no revolvers until I give him my late dad's 1981 686 no dash and my 1980 63. He's thinking if he can sell his Sig 365 he might grab it.

That's a great price. Hurry up and buy it before someone else does.

Even at $475 it's a very good deal...

Get on that J frame like a bum on a bologna sandwich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For that price, I'm wondering what's wrong with it. I would certainly check it for proper cylinder timing and lock up, excessive end shake, correct trigger function, and forcing cone erosion. If it checks out good, $475 is an outstanding deal.

Great deal!
You usually seem in the $600 to $700 range.

All the used guns get a thorough inspection by the in-house gunsmiths-a good group-prior to being offered for sale. Any faults if found are addressed.

Excellent price. New is close to $700.

I have two 640-2's I paid $650 and $700. If you don't buy that send me their phone number l. I'll buy it, have it shipped, pay the transfer fee and still feel great about the spend!!!!!

 

[Timbo22]

Buy! Buy! Buy! At that price I would buy another.

 

[Onomea]

Yes, excellent price. I paid more for used 15 used ago.

S&W Fan, that's an excellent price in today's market. I hope you've picked it up by now!

One of my sons is interested, not me, only J frame I enjoy anymore is my 63. I have others that provide the service a small revolver would provide

 

[BeachBumShooter]

Yes, that is a very fair price, buy it!
Of course, if it functions correctly. Good deal.
