The gun was bought in November 2006. It has about 400 rounds through it. I hate to do this, but I was laid off a few months ago and must sell for financial reasons. Asking $850. May consider a trade for a Ruger SP101 Snubby in .357 Mag plus cash.

Ouch! Those lay offs hurt. Can't by the gun, but will send up some prayers for your finances and better paying work

AARGH! I wish I didn't have a bunch of bills hanging over my head.
Prayers sent and best wishes for your job search. You should mention what kind of work you are looking for. You never know who might be able to help.

As for work, I'll do just about anything. I spent most of my life as a stagehand. The last 5 (the place that laid me off) was divided between between a security and shipping/receiving. As you can see my everyday skill setis somewhat limited. I am back working with the stagehands union but summer is the slowest time and I'd prefer something that provides a regular pay check. It's about what my kids need not what I may or may not want to do. I want to do whatever will help me provide for them.

Gosh, Carl maybe this will be a good replacement for "our GC".. I doubt it though if it will still be available by the time we finalize....

It's still available. There has been some interest but no commitments and nothing beyond inquiries.

Thanks everyone. As Lt said, it is going to one of his friends. If anything should happen, which I highly doubt it will, I'll repost it.
Hope everyone had a great 4th.
