It was 524 plus tax. There were several used ones with the 2.5" barrel priced around 475. I saw some with the 4" and 6" barrels used at $425.
I just didn't feel comfortable with buying a used gun and didn't think the savings would have been big enough

We will be shooting at Targetmasters in Garland. It's the closest indoor range to us. It was a bit of a drive to go to the Ft Worth show, but it paid off.

Mrs Fosforos and I visited the Ft Worth gun show today. Neither one of us went with the expectation of buying anything, just looking.... yeah right, famous last words.

We ended up with the following:



That's a Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack (for me),
a 9 round magazine for MrsF's Bersa Thunder 380 + 20 Federal Hydrashock HPs for the same and 100 rounds of Mactech ball ammo,
a Beretta Tomcat 32 (for her), and a nylon holster for it,
and a S&W 686 (for me),
and not pictured: a 100 count roll of silhouette targets and two pairs of yellow tint shooting glasses.

Here are the two new family members side by side:



Here is the whole family (can't imagine that a couple of months ago we had ZERO firearms)



The new guns got a quick cleaning and are ready to prove themselves at the range tomorrow. Today was a good day.
