How many would pass this up.

[BigBill]

If you walked into your LGS and he had brand new s&w N Frames of all barrel lengths marked $599/$699 tell me you would pass them up?

I purchased every N frame he had in the nickel finish.

I don't want to hear any lock bashing or crying just a plain answer.

 

[mtelkhntr]

If I could pick up a new 629 4" for that, I'd be reaching for my wallet

 

[05CarbonDRZ]

I would pass them right on by without a 2nd look.

 

[loeman]

Yes, that would be pretty tempting, but I'd probably pass too. $600-$700 could get me a really nice classic of some sort or another that would please me better in the long run. Also, I haven't bought a new gun in about 20 years and I probably never will. There's just way too many great buying opportunities out there in used, excellent or even ANIB.

 

[UncleEd]

I've tried to like N-frames for decades and have owned quite a few in .357, .44 Special, .45 ACP and .44 Magnum.

But I just can't.

Small hands, huh??

 

[DR505]

I don't own a nickel handgun of any make or model, and I'm not about to start. But I do like N-Frames, and have probably 5 for every non-N-frame Smith (big hands). Haven't had to buy a S&W with a lock though...

 

[mbliss57]

I would buy every PC N frame at that price!

 

[breakerofwind]

I don't think I could do it. As it is, I'd need a derrick to help me lift and hold one steady enough to shoot.

 

[Mike1647]

Yes

I'd have to pass on that. Limited funds make my collecting very particular and for similar money I can find examples of true classics.

 

[.455Eley]

I would have a nickel Model 58 for sure and for certain. Of course I'm a poor college student so it's rather a moot point.

 

[theoneff]

The lock wouldnt stop me but the Missus might. I'd take one for sure. Theo

 

[model70hunter]

I have all I need. We are building a house. My widow would be selling them at my funeral to pay her legal fees.

[.455_Hunter]

Unfortunately, I would stroll by and say "That's a great price on those new N-frames" on my way to the used case.

 

[snowman]

I'm not interested in the new ones, either.

[rwsmith]

I couldn't....

I wouldn't want to pass that up but to budget concerns, I'd have to keep walking. I wouldn't want the nickel ones, though.

 

[kihnspiracy]

I would pass on that deal.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

Even if I wanted to stretch my budget I wouldn't do it just for N frames. I have no interest in .44 Magnums, I already have a Model 27 Classic, and I already have my grail gun, a 25-5 in .45 Colt. I like .38s and .357s, there are other K frames I'd like to have, and even L and J frames. N frames don't excite me much. I don't dislike them - they're just not my primary cup of tea.

 

[629shooter]

At that that price, I would pick up a 3" 629. Even if it was a -6.
