Bullett Sass 19707 83 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I was looking at the Cabelas web sight and almost all the BP revolvers are not available. Are they just sold out of them or do you have to go to the store to buy them. I have not purchased one since they sold out. Thanks Bullett 19707 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Bullett 19707 A few years I just ordered some online and they were delivered to my house, I guess even C and B guns are selling out now. Randy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three Foot Johnson 2,505 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I was checking prices just yesterday, and it's not just Cabela's that is out of stock, nobody has them. I've got three nearly new-in-box Pietta 1858's I've been thinking of selling, and with none available, now might just be the time. There are current Gunbroker bids as high as $350 + $35 shipping for NIB ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warden Callaway 4,624 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I was watching for a pair of 1860 to fill the Slim Jim holsters I'd picked up. I was watching Cabela's, MidwayUSA, etc, etc, and all were out of stock. So went to where we'd seen a pair and drove the hardest bargain we could. Looks like we lucked out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sedalia Dave 12,717 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Shortage is due to the China flu. Italy has been hit super hard and has been shutdown more than it has been open this year. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bullett Sass 19707 83 Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Thank you very much for the update. Yes Italy has been hit hard with the virus. I wish them the best. Bullett 19707 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Bullweed 449 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Covid hit Italy hard due to a delay in action. Also, most companies were deemed non-essential. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Italy was one of the very first countries (after China) with a large number of - then quite unknown - Covid cases; claiming delay in action seems inappropriate to me. Other countries had had much more time to act and prepare until arrival of the virus but didn't use it and kept playing it down. Equanimous Phil 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

El CupAJoe 151 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I've been tracking the pietta pistols at cabs for a while and you have to search by store, they don't have enough to keep them in stocks at all locations but most of the stores will have one or two cap and ball revolvers of some type, one store might have an 8 in 51, another might have a sherrif's 58. As long as you aren't too picky, you can probably find something at a bass pro or cabelas near you. Also when you do the store search it will give you results for both cabelas and bass pro. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 2,819 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Buying firearms in short inventory times (like now) usually leads me to not being very satisfied with what I end up with. Thus, during this time period, I'm not doing any firearms purchasing. You may be easier to please than I am. I really do believe we will recover back to being able to buy recreational firearms pretty quickly, once folks get back to work. Defense firearms - that may take a bit longer. Good luck, GJ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck, GJ We've been doing the opposite buy buying when the opportunity comes up. Converting old fashion coupons with pictures of dead presidents into shooting iron. But we're not shopping for TactiCOOL or Tupperware guns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slowhand Bob, 24229 117 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 If I continue with the BP craze, my next line of progression was to get a couple of new cart converters in .38, are these still available? I still want one or two Walkers at some point but that is sort of on the back burner for right now, a good hammer coach gun has gone to the front of the line for the time being!!
