The finish looks crappy but.a pre-lock N-frame for $500?
Damn!

Something has to be seriously wrong for Cabelas to have priced it that low.
Normally, the best you can expect from them is the lower end of average. $499 is "shut up and take my money" territory for a functional N-frame.
That said, when I stopped by a Cabelas in Ohio during a business trip this Summer, they had some good prices, such as a sub-$300 no-lock S&W x42 (don't recall the exact model offhand), so maybe it's an Ohio thing?

Did anyone buy it?

It's not showing up in their online gun library.Originally Posted by Stephanie B
I had a crazy idea if the bore was crap that one could strip the finish and apply the spray finish of your choice, bore/rechamber to .430-.431, and modify the barrel for replaceable front sights of some type. That would be a nifty fixed sight cast bullet 44mag platform.

It wasn’t showing up the first day, either - they may not have exposed it to the web. Or, it’s gone.
I’ve always (like for 35 years) wanted a 4” fixed sight .44 special or magnum N frame utility revolver...

There's a discount bar code that you can use with your Cabela's CLUB card.

I've found that the "gun library" guns are priced kind of high. I had never encountered anything in there (at ANY Cabela's) that made me reach for my wallet, until a few months ago. By using my CLUB card points, I got a nice deal on a S&W 64 (no dash), 3", round butt, factory DAO, marked NY-1 at the Centerville, OH store.

S&W made a special run of 2.5" fixed sight 629s back in the 80s or 90s. I came across a *shiny* one in nickel plate for about $800 at a gunshow about 8-9 years ago. That was about $100 too high for a regular 629 at the time. Thinking this was someone's "custom" job, I left it on the table, but curiosity got the better of me and I googled it later. I found out it was a very limited run for a club or some distributor, I forget which. Had I known that, I might have bought it. I haven't seen one since.
I think with some good ivory paper micarta grips and a tooled leather OWB holster, it would have been a dandy BBQ gun or nicer CCW piece.

No Stephanie, we’re saving it for you[emoji6]
Not going to happen. I just ordered one of the shooter-grade HB Model 10s from AIM.

Nice.
