Back when prices were a lot more sane. And those were very good deals, even then.
I got a 629 Mountain Gun back about 2001 or so for $600, new and that was reasonable,
not any kind of a special deal. Sounds like the .44 Spls were selling at lower prices
then than Magnums. I think the Mountain Gun was a slight premium for the different
barrel contour. I got a NIB 586 in about 2006 or 8 for $478, and that WAS a bargain
price. Another seller at the same gun show had the same NIB gun for $750. When I saw
the first gun I said "Hey, that seems like a really good price. I wonder if I can get a 4"
barrel, I'll keep looking." When I got mostly through the show and saw the other gun,
I hustled back and started filling out the 4473!
