How many would pass this up.

[Jdavis]

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

Not if I got there first.

 

[g8rb8]

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.

I would stop ........ ponder ...... look ....... fondle ........ ponder some more ......... and walk out with at least one.

 

[Arik]

Not without checking the used case first. If you need a YES or NO answer only I guess it would be a NO

 

[fat tom]

No interest here.
f.t.

 

[StrawHat]

Only if there was one in 45 caliber, with a 4"skinny barrel. Blued and with fixed or adjustable sights.

Not much interested in anything else.

I would pass it up without hesitation.

 

[murphydog]

My guess is that these were NOS Classics, nickel 6.5" 24-6s or similar. Tempting, even as a modern gun, and they will probably shoot well.

Of course, as soon as the NIB supply runs out the prices will probably skyrocket...something about that no longer in production mystique.

A couple years ago I had just that opportunity with one of these:

As tempting as it was I payed a couple hundred more for the one I really wanted...

Say what you will, those nostalgic old guns may give a warm fuzzy, but they ain't shootin' any better.

Save for very limited runs of guns that have achieved a bit of a cut status, most just keep their value.

I haven't purchased a single gun for collectability...I buy 'cause I like them and like shooting.

Glad you got a good deal on something you enjoy. It wouldn't hold any interest for me, personally, but it's sure great to live in a country where there are so many choices and opportunities.

 

[Allen-frame]

Anything in 45 Caliber for 600 to 700 . I would have to say 'YES' .


P.C. guns and Scandium framed go for substantially more.


All my 460s have the hole in the frame.

And I do have a set of Modern N frames .

In no particular order a 327TRR , 25-13 Mountain gun, 325 PD, and a Governator.




How many did YOU buy BigBill ??

Allen

These are all fine Modern pistols.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Not that big a fan of nickel or ILs.
Now if they were older blues and stainless-
Short barrels?
Yes, I would buy a couple. Or more.

 

[H Richard]

Only if it was a caliber of configuration I didn't have or liked better. I prefer the older ones much more.

 

[muzzleblast]

Big Bill,

Personally, I think "ya' done good."
Now, go shoot the snot out of 'em!

P.S. - Lemme know if you bit off a bit more than you can chew during your enthusiastic binge buying. I might be willing to lighten your load... if the price is right.

P.P.S. - Pics, please....................................!

 

[Penmon]

New ones become old one in time,

 

[muzzleblast]

I have all I need.

We don't believe that. Neither do you.

We are building a house.

Understood.

My widow would be selling them at my funeral to pay her legal fees.

What! She doesn't have you insured?

[ptgarcia]

You're all crazy. If I had the money I'd buy them all, although in CA I'd have to wait 30 days between each before taking them home.

I'm envy of you that have such easy access to used revolvers. I've seen only one used S&W revolver in a store. It happened to be a Model 18 in a pawn shop for $850. I'd rather buy new at that price.....

 

[Watchdog]

The lock wouldnt stop me but the Missus might.

A Missus is often just a different kind of lock.

 

[model70hunter]

A Missus is often just a different kind of lock.

Lock? IL? Can one buy a plug to fix it?

Mr. Rick A. Nice looking 45 Model 1950. Where did you get the IL plug? Thanks.
