Thanks guys.. I have bought from Brad at Discountgundealer many times in the past. I just didn't see one listed on GB so I moved on til you guys posted and it urged me to call him.
He had two 642's w/o lock left, one was already spoken for, with no more available to him in the near future.
I met him this last Sat and snapped it up (lucky me!) for $409 and change, and I just sent in the $30.00 rebate S&W is offering, so I guess (excluding tax) I got it for $379.00. Not a bad deal in these current gun buying times.
Thanks for the replies!
More questions about it to come in the "revolver" section, as I have not owned or shot a revolver in about 20 years. Especially a snubby! Anyway, I'm swapping my Semi-auto out for the 642 for winter carry. MN cold can play heck on semis sometimes..
Plus, I have always wanted a snub.. This just gave me a reason to get one!
