S&w 642

S&W 642 .38SP +P for $455.00 at gander mountain.

good deal? from my research and looking around looks like a good deal. plus the service was outstanding there when i went to look at it. i like to support the little guy but the price was right here. and they had it for much more at the other local shop where i buy.

$455 is a little high, but may be about right in your part of the country--I don't know. Most around here are a shade north of $400.00.

I can say that I pocket carry a 642 in either a Mika or Nemesis on a daily basis, and absolutely love the little revolver. It's truly one of the best purchases I've made. Loaded with Speer Gold Dot 135gr +p rounds with a couple of Bianchi Speed Strips for backup, I don't feel undergunned in the least. Check the 442 as well--same gun, black finish.

Cheers!

I paid $409 about four months ago at B&S in Garland.
SWA in Sunnyvale has them for $399 I think.
Yes that's here in Texas, I know that doesn't help you, but I thought it might help you reference a price.
I'd shop around at bit more if you have any other options..


Bud's ..........
This pink one is cute @ $399 ..
S&W M642 .38Spl 2" Pink revolver for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $399.00

Gilbert's $429
Which would cost you at least $455 with transfer fees.
