S&W 642

Is $378.00 a reasonable price for a new 642? Thanks, Stash

Not a terrible price but if you look hard you could probably save $20 or so. If it was something I really wanted and it was convenient to get at that price, I'd do it.

BTW, I have my 642 in my pocket as I type this. Great little wheel gun.

Yep, like HV said, great little "carry guns". Ya might or might now beat that price a little at a gun show or places like Bachman, Cheaper Than Dirt or Sportsman's Warehouse. Awhile back SW had a "package deal" with 'em coming with the overmoulded (not the little one) Crimson Trace laser grips for right at $500 - a heck of a good deal.

Sounds like a reasonable price.

Academy has them for $372 which is less than what I snagged one on-line for after the transfer fees. I bought a used one in Beaumont at a pawn shop for $265. I have seen them in various stores for up to $600+. $378 is a good price if new, used, offer less especially if any wear is evident.

+1 on the price. Also +1 on the 642 in the pocket right now. When I first bought mine the trigger was so gritty and heavy that I really disliked the gun. Couldn't hold it on target the trigger was so stiff. Had Alan Tillman of Austin do a trigger job and , wow, what a difference it made. Now I love the wheelgun and it's my constant companion.

At the last Pasadena show, they were running about $345.

At the George R Brown show, they were about $10 less.

That's mainly due to more competition from Bachmans, etc.
