Spike in revolver prices?

[getsome]

My thought was ammo availability and after playing around with the little Ruger it’s pretty neat and with a much nicer trigger than my factory stock S&W 642 .38......I really didn’t need a new gun, still have and daily carry my PM9 but it seemed like a good idea if ammo never comes back, besides my wife was already mad at me which come to think about it seems to be a common denominator for several of my firearm purchases so I said, why not, rap it up, I’ll take it.....

So you got the Ruger .38 special? I picked up the 9mm version some years ago. Shoots good but on mine I have to make sure to release the trigger all the way. There is a little click about half way to reset but the hammer isn’t reset yet.

It’s a Ruger LCR but not .38 special it’s a 6 shot .327 Federal Magnum caliber.....Same size/weight as the .38 but in .32 and 6 shots rather than 5 like the .38 pistol plus it will shoot any .32 pistol ammo even .32 acp without moon clips so it’s versatile

The LCR9mm is a keeper. Bought mine when it first hit the market and never looked back. Love the gun. Enjoy shooting it, great trigger. Snub nose revolver do have a learning curve. I was lousy with them at first but that was thousands of rounds ago. Interesting to see how much you can improve with them. I like shooting it so much, I bought the LCR22 and can truthfully say it is the most fun shooting Rimfire I have shot. Great Trainer and Plinker. After a training/Practice session I love to put Clay's on the 50 yd bern and just take my time busting them. I had never thought about a 22.cal for defense, but one day fast shooting at the range, I felt, like God, would hate to have 8 fast rounds hitting my neck, face and Chest. And you can get very good with one. And being a revolver it is very rare to get a failure.
As Hickcock45 said when reviewing snub and have a good time. "There is just something about them

Nice King Rat. I also like the LCR but carry the M&P 340 more....slightly smaller and so light. But not the best to shoot stout loads in!

Over the past year I have seen used Glocks sell at my LGS for $450 and yesterday a used P365 went for $465 but last night while looking at their used online page if see,
S&W
Mod 60-1 2" with adjustable sights for $995
Mod. 686 no dash for $995
Mod 640 no dash 38sp. for $695
Mod 650 22WMR for $995
Some with original box and some without.
These are listed by an LGS that is and always had what I would call "fair" prices on guns and ammo.

I am not a collector and I realize these are pre-lock guns but do the prices seem to be high?

This is not the fist time that Revolvers have been mentioned of being a shortage. I talked to the owner of the LGS which I have known for years. I asked him where are all the Revolvers. He use to have a complete case of them all the time, now just a few. He told me he cannot keep them in stock. What was interesting his that he had about 3 or 4 used Sig 365's.
