I picked up a 6" 686 plus from them last week actually once I saw the rebate email from smith and wesson. Good time to grab one if you've been looking for one!Post in thread 'Post Your Firearms Deals Here' https://www.indianagunowners.com/threads/post-your-firearms-deals-here.517104/post-9834370
Also family firearms has a few good deals on S&W revolvers.
Thats a Sophie's choice right there.. just get both! Just money the govt prints it everyday lolThis is killing me. You have saddled my conscience with a great moral dilemma that I've now been agonizing about for two days, lol.
That's a great deal, and I don't have a 686 yet. On the other hand, I don't really need another .357 and it'll likely spend most of the time sitting in the safe. I currently have a GP100 and a Model 66-4, both 4", and while they're both great shooters, I spend a lot more time with the snubs since I actually carry them. A 6" barrel would be something different, but I'm not sure how much I'd actually use it. I don't hunt much anymore, and even if I did it wouldn't be with a handgun. I think it could be fun for plinking steel at longer ranges, but that's about the only application I can come up with, and it's not like I can't do that with either of the 4" guns that I already own.
The gun budget would currently accommodate it, but I'm wanting one of those new Lipsey's 642s, and I'll carry the crap out of that one. I'm on the call list at a local dealer but I have no idea when they'll actually be available. Rumor is the end of February, but we all know how that goes in real life. Could be August or December before I actually see one.
Do I jump on this now and blow the gun budget on a really nice gun with limited utility, risking not having the money when the J-Frames ship, or do I wait and make sure I have the cash on hand to snag the gun that I'll actually use daily?
Unfortunately, I'm not the govt, and they don't print it for me. In fact, every time they print more, the little I've got becomes worth a little bit less!Thats a Sophie's choice right there.. just get both! Just money the govt prints it everyday lol
Seems like ya better save for the one ya really want. The 686s is a smoking deal but ya can always find a good used one of those down the roadUnfortunately, I'm not the govt, and they don't print it for me. In fact, every time they print more, the little I've got becomes worth a little bit less!
Yeah, that's the way I'm leaning. The other thought I've had is that if I keep saving and it does take a few months for the J-frames to show up, maybe I can snag a 632 to go with the 642!Seems like ya better save for the one ya really want.
