Post subject: | What's a "Fair" Price on a S&W 686? |
I'm a total newbie to handguns (just bought my first gun a couple weeks ago - a 9mm). I really want (ok...NEED...lol) to add a revolver to my collection. I really like the S&W 686 6" 6-shot. I found one new at Gander in Maple Grove for $799. This seems high to me for a revolver but what do I know. Is it priced reasonably or would I be getting screwed? And generally speaking, what's the best way for a newbie to get a feel for prices on handguns? Is there a price guide or something available or some other online resource? Thanks, Travis P.S. Any recommendations on what shops (locally or online) generally have the best prices on their guns? |

See these guys for a 'ballpark figure'. I used "S&W 686" for my search parameters. http://www.gunbroker.com |

$799 is, in my opinion, obscenely high. However, that's also GM's pricing... I'd say that $550-600 is in the correct range. I'd check Gunstop; usually their prices are pretty decent. |

After doing some more research on this gun I would say you are right! $799 is ridiculous. I'm glad I didn't buy it. Travis mrokern wrote: tvanslooten wrote: I found one new at Gander in Maple Grove for $799. Found your problem... They will bend you over, my friend. -Mark |
