Never been a revolver guy, but I think Im in LOVE!!!

[Rate_of_Twist]

Never been a revolver guy.... Ive owned a few but they have all been sold as they just weren't the right combination of size/barrel length/capacity. After taking the usual stroll around the gun shop I ended by the revolver case ( which never happens ) As I peered through the case it was love at first sight, exactly what Ive always wanted in a wheel gun! Best yet the price tag! I feel a little guilty for the price I paid ( ok, not really! ) Finish is nice, doesnt appear to have ever spent much time in a holster. Lockup is tight. Shows no sights of forcing cone wear. Cant wait to get to the range!

I recently got a thing for revolvers. That looks nice. I need one. Eventually. How much if you don't mind?

 

[exo]

$300! Wow, nice.

 

[winter]

Nice looking wheel gun. Can't turn something like that down, not for $300.

 

[Trouble]

Not in the market for it, but at 300 bucks I would buy it in a heart beat. Good score.

Beware. Revolver seems to multiply very quickly. Next thing, you will need a hand cannon.

For 3 benjamins, it's no brainer. I'll take it home too.

 

[jdesro]

Great find! You don't run across the 3" barrels too often, especially at that price. You did good!

Great gun. Looks like a beauty. If you want to dress it up with some decent wood grips at a rock bottom price, check out the Hogue Auction site. http://www.hogueauction.com/ I got some nice ones for my 617 there. If you don't see anything just check back occasionally.

Really... 300. I hate being jealous, but I am.

 

[exo]

I'll give you $301 for it!

 

[MAGG]

$302.50 I can do

 

[Marcus99]

Throw a 2.5" barrel on that and you have my 66-4. Nice pick up and great price!

OK then I won't tell you about the pristine Python I got for $50 a bunch of years ago............

Was that $50 on top of... other things?

 

[IPSC_DRL]

Well ya. The whole deal actually cost me $200 but I still think it was worth it.

Oh and **DRB** I have a 4" Model 65-2. It was my first revolver. Sweet gun.

I see what you did there and am willing to forgive.... When you are willing to sell me that beast for the fair, fair offer of $55.45.

Um, when you say some years ago, do you mean 20 or more. That's the only way $200 makes sense.

To the OP, that's a great find for $300!! Watch out, the revolver bug can bite quick. So can the semi auto bug, long rifle bug, C&R bug, black powder bug, evil black rifle bug and so on. Damn bugs......

Seriously , the LAST thing I need in the safe is something that multiples!!! I already have mosin nagants for that!

 

[JohnMarston]

congratulations bud! my first revolver was a titan 38 which was a pos my dad gave it to me to play with, but i recently purchased a 686 smith with a 4 inch barrel...hubba hubba!

Congratulations on a great purchase! Wheel guns are fun, especially a nice .357 like that. Enjoy!

 

[Rate_of_Twist]

already have a holster and speedloaders on the way, she's gonna be a shooter! that reminds me I need to get some .357 dies and brass as well.

Im really excited about having .357 as I already reload 9mm. Ive found a bunch of load data to use the same powders and primers to keeping a good stock will be easy.

I think a lever gun .357 would be a hell of an addition!

Awesome!!! I wasn't really a revolver guy either. But I picked up a Ruger LCR about a month ago and this thing is really growing on me. I find myself carrying it more and more!

Wheelguns are PURE sex appeal...

They really are.

 

[GunGrey]

Get some nice wooden grips now and you will be all set

A .357 lever gun is high on my list of next buys.....Henry big boy on .357 has to be a hoot to shoot!

I wouldn't think twice about throwing three bills on that puppy.

Good find.
