If no-lock, great condition, and they are scarce in your area, it's an okay deal, but not great.

I just got a brand new, no-lock 442 for $332 from my LGS (I got the military/LE discount). Yes, a screamin' deal, but thrown out there for comparison.

picked up a no-lock in like new con. for 340.00 earlier this year. but if it is something you really want then go for it.

Not a great deal but if I really needed one, I might jump on it if it was clean.

Looks like 3 sets if grips and a odd holster.

If it's $375, no tax, well it's a ok deal as long as no end shake, no crane shake , no cylinder shake (that is it's a tight good gun.)

Now if he will come down to $350.... no tax, then it's a good deal.

it has 2 grips and 2 holsters. he just sent me a text saying he would take 350 for it. and its just a ftf sell no tax. still dont think i want it but if one of you guys want it i could buy it and sell it to you. no profit for me just helping out someone if they want it. he said basically brand new only used it for ccw
