There is a very small market for cowboy style revolvers now days.

I tried to sell this gun for over a year to lots of people and all over the internet and I think I settled on $550.00

I did not over pay, I looked at and priced them for quite a while before I actually bought it. $625 was the going rate when I bought mine.

Even now, they are selling for $625 new I believe. It's all how Ruger has the initial price set.

My advise, get a good used one. Stay away from a new one because I guarantee you will lose money 9/10 times.
