GunNRose 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Hello, boys! It's me again. A few months ago I ordered the above .22 revolver from Ed's Gun Shop on Cooper Rd., but he says it's still on backorder. Has anyone heard anything about why there's so long a wait for this gun? I researched but couldn't find anything. Meanwhile, I've had to get an extension on my permit to purchase. Blah.

Wolfy 51 Posted December 10, 2009 Rose I can't answer why your FFL can't get one I know you are in south Jersey maybe call PK90 he is a great guy to deal with. I also came across this it is on the J frame so the grips are smaller http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/prod ... s_id/50012 they are in stock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chad 3 Posted December 10, 2009 I agree with wolfy, I would just go to a different store. It sounds like they are jerking you around, maybe? I don't know, did you have that impression? It can't hurt to call around to other stores and see what the availability is on the gun you want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HODGIE 3 Posted December 10, 2009 I hope you did not pay him in full for something that he cannot get. Everything I have to order I do though Shore Shot, I do not have to put one dollar down and if for some reason it comes in months later and I no longer want it they do not really care as they will sell it as long as it's not some custom pistol or rifle that no one else would want.

GunNRose 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Hey, thanks, everybody. No, I didn't pay him in full. I gave him $200. He's been in business there for a long time. My brother knew about him. Ed's was close by to my house. That's why I went there. I had heard the 617 was a popular model, but this is ridiculous Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunNRose 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Also, he didn't ask me to put anything down on it, only if I wanted to, and I gave him the $200 because he and his wife seemed like nice people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may not be that the revolver is so popular, it could be the opposite and they only production run so many per year. Mix that with the self induced ammo frenzy and a .22 seemed more valuable to more people and they just sold out fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,573 Posted December 10, 2009 4" or 6"? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunNRose 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Four. I thought the six might be too heavy for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfy 51 Posted December 10, 2009 Rose if you think the 617 6" is to heavy the model 63 is 28 ozs a full pound lighter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,573 Posted December 10, 2009 8 shot vs. 10 shot 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfy 51 Posted December 10, 2009 I was advising more on weight and comfort versus capacity but I still say call PK90. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rscalzo 3 Posted December 11, 2009 8 shot vs. 10 shot That would be 6 shot vs. 10 shot. The six shot model is no longer a current item in the S&W catalog. New or used are sparse up here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
