I'm looking for a new S&W Thunder Ranch .45 ACP revolver, but they are currently not shipping from S&W.

 

I'm a purchasing manager by profession and can find almost anything I need, personally or professionally, but firearms are a different story. How could one look online for one of these revolvers in a shop's stock? A Google search doesn't really get it done.

 

I did a quote request on this site and only one vendor replied; to tell me this model is out of stock. I check Gunbroker and found nothing.

 

Any suggestions?

Take this from someone who does the purchasing for a gun shop and knows the market.

 

1- Gun manufacturers slow production down in the winter to alleviate back stock, which needs to be inventoried, typically the 1st of the year.

 

2-Gun manufacturers are putting every available resource into producing their new guns that will be launched at SHOT show

 

3- Certain Smith & Wesson revolvers have been hard to come by from distributors for months. I've had 4 on order since september from all of my distributors and have still yet to see one of them.

I'm in the same boat. I'm looking for a S&W 625. They seem to be hard to find, and the ones you do find seem to be grossly overpriced.

Im looking for a 686 3 " 3.5.7. We are in the same boat

It's awesome. I got one this summer. I HIGHLY recommend it. If you ever want to shoot one, give me a shout.

BTW, Bullet Hole has the 325 with the Red/White/Blue stocks in stock.
