Purchased S&W 642 .38 (got it)

Placed a bid on one at gunbroker and didn't make the reserve. The owner contacted me thru gunbroker and said that he would take my bid of 300 +15 shipped if I wanted the gun. I think this is a really good deal so I should have it in a week or so...

what do yall think did I get a deal?

Run by Van's and see what one cost there and you'll feel good about the deal!

J.B.

If its new, you bought it below dealer cost.

Price is the same for with or without internal lock.

Regards,

That's probably a great deal if it's in good shape or new. Mine was about $360, new.

says fired once... Like new condition.

Looks like new in the pics.

You certainly did not get burned!

Enjoy!!

Yep

By the time you figure all your fees.... you did fine....Not a great deal per se...but its your money...no one else matters

642 is one of my daily "rides"...U like...

practice with it when you get it

luv mine, installed c/t grips and my daily carry.

I have one on my hip in a CTAC today! I love mine and it is a good shooter. It gets carried a lot during the summer and depending on what i'm wearing, I carry it during the winter too. I have CT Grips on mine too!

Bulldog, congrats on the new S&W 642... do you have it yet???

I took the plunge on one and it came in about a week ago... here's a quick pic of it -

Should be at my FFLs house tomorrow. Hopefully I get to go pick it up after work.

I picked it up yesterday... Looks like it has been fired more than adevertised but it hasent been fired much. Not a scratch on it. Cost+shipping+ffl fee=$325. Couldn't be happier with gun or price.

Got one and want another. Looks like a good buy to me.

Hope you got a good one. A friend just got one, and in less than one box of PMC target ammunition it became hard to open. The threads on the ejector rod were apparently partially engaged and ultimately ended up stripped, causing it to be too long and not able to disengage from the connection point at the barrel. It's going back to Smith. They have a great reputation, so I assume this is pretty rare and Smith will take care of it. Still a bummer on a brand new gun though.

I've heard negative things about their QC but as I understand it they do stand behind their product and make good in those cases.

Bulldog, you got a great deal on it and that's a very good looking J-frame Centennial...

Congrats on this one...

Picked up a fobus holster and 250 rounds while in hattiesburg at gander mountain. They had a sale on .38, 380 9mm... 250 rounds of blazer fmj for 89 bucks. I think I am going to like this holster. Any of yall use one for your j frame?
