I just fell in love with the Preformance Center 66 F-Comp at a local funshop.. It's lightly used, and they are asking $595 for it. The only one I found online is this one, is the guy smoking crack, or should I run, not walk back to buy it.. www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=83369486 |

Even with the lock, it sounds like a fair price if it's in VG-Excellent condition. The one you posted a link to is way overpriced, IMO. I have one like what you are looking at, with the internal lock. I got it in trade with a few sets of grips and the original PC aluminum case. The trade value put on it was around $550 if I remember correctly. The K-frame .357 mag is the best carry revolver out there. I prefer fixed sighted models, like the M13 or M65, but the F-Comp is a good option. When I get my custom 3" M13 back from Karl Sokol at Chestnut Mountain Sports, I'll be carrying that instead of my F-Comp. His work is beautiful. If you could pick up a used K-frame and have Karl do the work to it, I'd bet that you would be happier with it than a Performance Center gun. I've always been very happy with Karl's work. The PC does nice work, but it's more of a mass production custom gun vs Karl's true customs. There's just a little more attention paid to detail. Not that the PC guns suffer in the quality department, but with having Karl build you a wheelgun, you get exactly the options you want and none that you don't. Like the lock for example. |
