How did I do on this 642-2?

Hi all, I picked up this little beauty this morning from a local sale for $275. It has a few handling marks on the back strap but nothing serious. It came with the box and all papers (yeah it has the "lock" but..... I can't wait to put a few downrange, matter of fact if this rain will let up I might shoot her today. What do ya think fellers?

A "used" one in fair condition goes for $375 + in my neck of the woods. You did very well, enjoy and don't concern yourself if it's not perfect. These things are tools and any marks just reflect character. My EDC has lots of "character."

Yes $275 is quite good. Good enough to make it your practice gun and then a no-lock version your carry gun. Shoot that practice gun weekly to gain skill and never have to worry about your carry gun wearing out.

$275....you did real good. I had a friend who owned a gun shop and still paid $450 about 5 years ago, it was new but nearly new at $275 sounds like a much better deal.

That's a great price. I just posted above a 642 no lock LNIB for $300 OTD. Mine is a May 2012 gun that must have been bought and returned. The new ones were selling between $379 and $399 at the stores I was in. I checked Bud's and they were at $379 shipped plus FFL transfer. So you saved over $100 by buying slightly used. Great stuff!

Thanks guys, I shot her and really hit good I thought for a snubbie. I am really happy with this deal~
