I went into Gander Mountain today on a lark. I was actually looking for some AA#9 and thought I'd just make sure they didn't have any. Well I spotted the New model Blackhawk in .41 mag that has been there for like 6 months. I've been jonesing for a new big bore revolver that I could do some long range silhouette type shooting with. I could do this with my .45 LC vaquero but I wanted something different. So the .41 blackhawk fit the bill it was a little unique it has enough barrel length 6.5" but the price, Yikes. So I asked the young man wearing a skeet shooting vest (does anyone else find this odd) to let me take a look at it. On inspection, the gun is just great, everything looks fine. So I tell the gentleman that I would be interested in the gun if there was room in the price. He of course tells me that they price match but that is about all. I immediately pull up Bud's and the skeet vest tells me they don't count. This goes on for a while as I show one after another online vendors with the same gun for around 500. No luck. I shrugged and figured oh well not meant to be. So, before I left though I swung by the skeet vest and now he is more flexible. He brings up some kind of warranty thing and tells me he can get it down to 570 out the door. I tell him no dice I need 550 out the door or I can't justify it. I get three steps away and he says let me ask for permission. I am having flash backs of every car dealership I have ever been too. The sales associate comes up to me and instead of yelling pull, tells me he can make the deal. After paper work and all the price magically dropped again and I got it for 529. Not a bad deal from my perspective. Now I have to get a bunch of equipment so I can load this durn thing. I ordered the NOE 412-238 WFN mold and some other mess from midway. I can't wait to take this to the range and see if it is everything I think it is going to be.
