Coincidentally, I was negotiating a purchase for one of these at the gun show Sunday. The seller told me it was new/unfired in the box. Strangely, I saw that it uses moon clips, to facilitate ejection of fired rounds.
At any rate he was asking $850 and would not budge. Since I would have to pay for a background check it would have been about $900. I didn't want it bad enough to pay the extra $50. At 44 ounces empty it would be a hefty carry piece fully loaded. I will stick with my Speed-Six snubbie or 3" Colt King Cobra for a woods carry 357.
All that being said, it looks like a good deal.
