Thanks to the above members for researching the
prices at other sites.
The ad doesn't show the 642 with a laser.
By the way, when I add these threads I don't do research
on each handgun to verify the specs. I simply take the data
from the ad and transcribe it.

I am not going to post regularly, just thought I'd offer people an alternative vendor to consider as well.
What started me looking at model numbers was the S&W 642. A base model 642 sells for $469 (list price) or $345 (street price). A quick look at the Academy model number showed it to be the Crimson Trace variant.

I love these threads also. I didn't mean for this to go off track. The only reason I mentioned is because of my purchase at Ray's in Dallas. I knew I had found a good price and I just could t imagine it being that good of a deal.

I trust of course that you are remitting use tax to the Texas Comptroller on your purchases.

If you buy something for use in Texas and the seller does not charge you sales tax, then you owe use tax on the item. It is the same rate as the sales tax.
