coronet 131 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Mini revolvers. lol. WHEN the HELL did they get so fucking expensive? WOW! I wanted to buy my nephew one for his BirthDay after seeing it in a magazine. There was no price listed. HOLY SHIT! OVER $400 dollars! when I went to their website. Went to Gunbrokers thinking it would be several hundred dollars cheaper. HOLY SHIT! HIGHER than retail suggested price! lol. WTF? I bought mine for $100 or so in the late 80's, and thought it was high. I have the discontinued folding holster/hand grip thing. The sidewinders are the high ones, the regular ones are around $200. but the folding "cool" grip has been discontinued. I'm an old fart, officially yesterday (turned 50) But, DAMN! It's a little bitty dinky gun. Fucking Glocks are not much more. I don't get it. Sticker shock rant over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pjj342 632 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Its relative to how much bread, milk and gas cost in the late 80s. I still remember my dad bitching up a storm when gas hit $1.10!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gunfanatic 221 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Charter Arms makes a copy that is about 1/2 the cost of a NAA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

belt fed frog 56 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 The Long Rifle flip holster has not been available for about 10 years (the cylinder cutout and covers barrel to tip ) But the Mag flip holster will work on the LR they offer it @ 239$ with the flip in LR on NAA site . . As for price yup my LR cost me just over 100$ At two different shows i picked up a Mag model for 125$ 5 years ago and then the next show a Mag w/ LR cylinder in the factory case for 150$( an heir and a spare or NY reload ) both are the 1 1/4" barrel (long standard) The NAA service policy is superb,my original LR went to friend ,he sent it in for service they upgraded the cylinder to the "new" safety cylinder( hammer notches between the rounds) and it only cost him shipping to them ! I carry one every day (Mag /Flip holster). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benelli 54 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Gas Prices?? Gas was 25 35 Cents per gallon and I was on a construction site laboring for 7.00 per hour. What the hell happened? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I believe my buddy paid around $250 for his .22 mag circa 2000 (perhaps he overpaid?)... The current price seems to reflect the times... I'll say this for that gun though, it's the loudest .22, and possibly handgun, on Earth! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'd think there's much more machine time on that mini revolver than a glock or the like. Have you seen the new one with flip out cylinder? That's pretty cool. If I got one I'd have to get the .22 short model. It's the smallest repeating gun in the world, then get the belt buckle just to say I did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
