Re: Academy - 8 handguns on sale. January 23-29, 2011.

gregthehand and MoJo:

You both would prefer a Taurus revolver to a Rossi revolver.

But since Taurus owns Rossi, aren't they basically the same gun?

Academy - 8 handguns on sale. January 23-29, 2011.

http://www.academy.com/index.php?page=c ... ad&pgNum=6

The above link goes to page 6 of this week's Academy handguns on sale.

IMHO:
The 3" Rossi .357 revolver for only $249.99 is a good deal for someone who wants
a more versatile wheelgun than a .38. For the price of one Smith and Wesson revolver
you can buy 2 of these Rossi's and have 10 rounds of .357/.38 on tap.

The Diamondback .380 is only $299.99 but IIRC the quality is low. Just because
something's cheap does not mean it has value.

Smith and Wesson's "Allied Forces Disaster Kit" - I wonder if they ever sell any of these??

"Sig Sauer 2022 Basic Handgun" - This to me is very poor marketing. On one hand, why
put a mouse gun number like "22" as part of the model number for a 9MM handgun?
On the other hand it's described as a "Basic Handgun" - that doesn't sound very appealing.
Who wants a boring gun?

Well, they have 8 handguns on sale this week, but I shan't comment on the other 4.

Happy shopping all you shootists. I hope something here catches your eye.
