ATTN. Smith & Wesson.....
Ruger thanks you for the many thousands of dollars they have made off me, since you came out with the lock!

I don't know why y'all keep saying that. Ruger has locks that are getting in the way of an easily installed lanyard ring.

I wonder how they (Gander Mountain) are staying in business, is anyone buying there?

They had the Craig Boddington book "Buffalo!" for $24.97, and that was not on sale. Retail is $39.95. I walked out with a copy.

Might try Georgia Arms for ammo. I just bought 100 Gold Dot 210 gr. hollow points for $49.00 plus shipping, and 200 lead 210 gr. lead semi WC for $78.00 plus shipping.
These are loaded in new Starline brass.
Total for 300 rounds shipped was $146.00.

How on Earth did you manage this? Did you order from them or was this a personal tranaction?

I just tried to order 100 of the .41 SWC, 50 of the .41 Gold Dots, and 100 .38 Special +P 158 SWCs and they wanted to charge me $27.00 to ship it. "Remove From Cart" is my only reply. I can ship 600 rounds of 5.56 across the country for just over $20 w/ insurance so I'm not sure if they hand deliver or what.

If there's a trick to getting your prices, let me know.

Thanks,
Scott

I was suprised to see the M58 listed under new products at Sports South, Inc.'s online catalog. More surprising was that they had it listed in 4" blue or nickel with an alloy( I assume scandium) frame. The catalog numbers are 150500 for blue and 150501 for nickel. Maybe someone at the SHOT Show can confirm this. It's not listed yet on the S&W website that I could find. Bob!!

The 58s I saw were definitely NOT alloy or scandium, but were all steel, with lock.
