| My father-in-law asked me to be on the lookout for a ported .357. He had a factory-compensated Rossi 971 that he lost when his home burned in Feb. 2004. I found a stainless Taurus 627 .357 Magnum at a pawn shop. It has a 4" barrel, a 7-shot cylinder, rubber grips, adjustable sights and it is ported from the factory. It looks like it has not been fired much. The frame size is comparable to a S&W K-frame. The action is much smoother than the Rossi was. They are asking $390. Is this a decent price? I haven't asked what they would take for it yet. What would a new one typically cost? Any input would be appreciated. |

I'd aim about $100 lower. The price of a new one is about $400. Resale on Taurus revolvers isn't too good. Are you sure it isn't a titanium tracker ? The price would be more in line then. Be sure to check it out thouroughly before you buy. Taurus quality seems to run hot and cold. |

I sold my 627 for $275 with holster, 121 rounds of ammo and 2 speed loaders. It wasnt in great shape but shot great. I got a 5.7 but still miss having the revolver around. I carried it often last year and as a 20 year old people always seemed surprised that I had a revolver and not an autoloader 100th Post!!! Woot!!! |
