Three Foot Johnson Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I've been casually looking for another stainless 4 5/8"er for a few years and one came up on Gunbroker ten days ago. Used, some very minor scratches, no box, papers, etc. Starting bid, $429. I figured I'd go maybe as high as $650... It ended a couple hours ago @ $847 + $35 estimated shipping + FFL fees, so something over $900, bottom line. And that was a proxy bid, so the winner's bid was even higher than that. Instead of looking for another one, maybe I should be selling the ones I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old model 357 Vaquero Bisley in 5.5" stainless, that would like to have a twin brother. From what I read, there was only a few thousand of those manufactured, so it might be quite an ordeal finding one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Bought my wife a pair 4 or so years ago at Cabelas, she doesn't shoot them much, prefers her 32's, but I doubt she'd sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'm specifically seeking a 4 5/8" stainless .44 special, model #05147, catalog #KNV-44S. I have five, but that doesn't work for me, because it's one short of three sets of two, or two sets with a backup for each set. On the bright side, I bought another 6 1/2" .357 unconverted 3 screw Blackhawk this afternoon for a decent price. 1967 vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I guess I got lucky: A pair of SASS stainless Ruger NMV's in .45 Colt, with 5.5" tubes, for $1200.00 Canadian. They fit my OMV holsters just fine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a little relieved and a little disappointed when the bid went higher. I'm in the same boat I've got a pair of 44 specials would kind of like to have at least one if not two more. I just can't understand why Ruger won't bring those back out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't understand why Ruger won't bring those back out Because the vast majority of people who want a .44 want a .44 magnum, not a dedicated .44 special. Ruger would never have tried marketing such a thing, but Lipsey's commissioned ~500 in each of four different configurations in 2010 and 2011 - 3 1/2" blue (510), 3 1/2" stainless (510), 4 5/8" blue (500), and 4 5/8" stainless (503). My first pair came from a place in Texas in February of 2013. They said they had them for a couple years and couldn't get rid of them. The third one came from a place in Arizona later the same year, but with the same story - had it for a couple years and couldn't get rid of it. The last pair came from a former cowboy shooter selling his stuff off at the Montana state championship two years ago, and it turned out he lived in East Helena, only five miles from me.
