Are there any no-lock 642's or 442's available anywhere?

Hi,

Are there any no-lock 642's or 442's available anywhere these days?

Thanks,

Alan

Cabela's had several at their LaVista, NE store last week.

Lipsey's currently has some 642s without locks, for $600.

Bought one two weeks ago at Bullseye guns in LR, AR for 480. 442 BTW

That's a ripoff. It's a $400, tops, gun. I got my 642 no-lock in Dec. for $359 with the $30 S&W rebate.

Ofcourse it's a ripoff, they know a non-ILS revolver is in high demand and they've priced it that way... I hope Smith is paying attention to the demand of the non-ILS guns and perhaps gets a clue, but I won't hold my breath...

Look at what Smith has done to all the prices. 442/642/637 are now suggested at $600 and the 640 is up to $799. Where's the top?

I just got back from a 640-1(no-lock), 357, purchase that my son made. $500, included a factory trigger job, laser engraving, front sight insert all done at S&W. Gun is used but in excellent condition. It will be a long time 'til I see something like this again.

I just bought this 442 at the Owatonna, MN Cabela's this afternoon on sale for $429.99 +Tx.

I bought a 442 at Cabelas in Fort Worth 3 weeks ago. Bought a 642 with ILS today. No 442's were in stock.

 

[RLingo]

I saw three today at the Del Mar Gun Show (San Diego, CA.). One has the IL and two did not. The ones without the IL were $498 and $494. I bought the cheaper one.

 

[taphandle]

I bought my 642 no IL from a guy on GB who had sold the last two he had. I checked today and now he has at least another one. His price has gone up though. They are around, and have been shipped from S&W this year.

Good luck.

Take it easy-n-at,
Jeff

First off, Lipsey's only sells to FFL holders. The price shown to someone who doesn't have an account with them is the manufacturers suggested retail price, more commonly known as an MSRP. So they aren't ripping anyone off. Second, the dealers they sell to set the actual sales price to the private customer. And third, they have a catalog number listed and they do not have any in stock. No wholesale firearms distributors have these on hand anymore. What is on the market is what dealers or sellers have in circulation.

My dealer has them if you want it shipped to you. I am in Ohio, I was just there today and he had 442/642 w/ & w/out lock in stock. $419.00 plus shipping to your ffl and they us USPS.... LMK if I can help...

 

[estiaat]

I am interested in getting a no-lock 642. Are they still out there? I live in Northeastern IL, and would prefer to buy locally, but I would consider doing a remote purchase.

Can I place an order at a local dealer for it, and wait it out? Not likely, I suspect...

That sounds like a great deal and I wish I'd read this thread earlier as I just bought a NIL 642 on GB for $445. A bit high but I really wanted one for warm weather pocket carry and my local shops want $485-$499 for IL 642s. So, they are relatively rare items and, with high demand, prices will inevitably climb.

local shop here in Birmingham has a 442 no lock for $449, same price as the locked versions...

they still had it as of a day ago.
cheers

As long as Smith continues to make all their handguns with internal locks, I think the prices of non-ILS guns will continue to rise. Unless people stop buying, like gasoline prices, but I can't see that happening for the next four years anyway. I was at the Cabelas in Hamburg, PA recently, but was not shopping for a J-Frame, so I'm really not sure what they had in stock. It does sound like some other forum members did have luck at their local Cabelas, however.
