They are available on there at an inflated price, plus shipping, plus transfer. Budsgunshop has the best price I have been able to find. Everyone on gunbroker want almost 1k for the little revolver new. There has been one used one for the price buds has one new. I will keep searching the interwebs though... :txflag:

Re: Revolver help

Thank you for your opinion. I think you are right. I too am leaning towards the S&W. It has an attraction to me that I have never had to a revolver. It may not be today or tomorrow but I think I am going to order one. Does anyone know a good S&W dealer in Houston to order from? I doubt anyone will have this revolver in stock.

Re: Revolver help

Update...I have narrowed my search to a S&W 325pd airweight in .45acp with 2 1/2" barrel or and Ruger SP101 chambered in .357mag with same 2 1/2" barrel. I know the S&W is a lot more money but it sure has a visual appeal that the SP101 does not have unless some customer stuff is added. If I got the S&W I would leave it alone, if I got the Ruger I would probably send it to Gemini Customs to get some work done right after I bought it. I'm just looking for thoughts and opinions right now...

.44 magnum recoil in a full sized steel framed pistol is impressive for the uninitiated, but it is not painful. The design of the frame and the grip panels is pretty good, particularly when the pistol has some kind of Hogue type rubber grips. I have a 5" Model 29 Classic and have shot as many as 50 - 100 rounds through it in one session before, and it didn't hurt me. It wore me out, but it didn't cause me pain.

That said, .44 special fired from a large framed .44 magnum is like shooting .22 LR. The recoil is almost non-existent, and yet you're firing a round that is near to .45 ACP in ballistics.

As to the same pistol in .357... your wish is my command:
Large Frame (N) - Model 327 M&P R8 - 8 Shot, .357 Magnum Revolver

You can even get all tacticool mall ninja with it :mrgreen: :

LOL...the second picture is actually my wallpaper on my work desktop already. I really like that pistol, but gosh its expensive. I like the pics posted above with the carry revolvers, those are nice. Really nice actually. Isn't Gemini customs the company that makes art out of 1911's? Those are beautiful revolvers and I am envious. I will keep everyone posted on my decision. More input never hurts...

Re: Revolver help

I like the GP100 with the 4" barrel in .357. Those are nice and I have held one at my local Gander Mtn. What would be a fair price if looking for a used one and what would be something to lookout for in a used revolver. The S&W 325pd just looks so sweet to me, but I understand about the complications of the rimless cartridge.

Revolver help

I am wanting a revolver...why I don't know but they have an appeal to them I can not shake. I am looking at a S&W 325pd. It is a scandium framed 2 1/2" barreled .45acp revolver. Any thoughts on this particular gun or others like it. I usually don't like snubbies or revolvers for that matter but I like this one. What might be a fair price and has anyone ever handled or shot this particular pistol. Everyone's help and opinions are always appreciated.
