I was all excited! I got my taxes back and had my money in hand. I walked down to the gunshop to purchase a nice, new .357 and than reality slapped the crap out of me.

First choice, Ruger GP-161, nope. Second, S&W 586, nope. They had a slightly engraved 686 that they wanted $1,200 for, nope. Next few places were all the same and all of the auction sites want $100+ over msrp. So now I'm on a couple 'in stock notification' lists and am waiting patiently.

I was surprised, I would have bet money that revolvers would have been relatively unaffected by the rush. So much for that thought. So, T-minus whatever until I get my mitts on one. /complaining
