Best Place to Purchase Used Revolvers in Pittsburgh Area

[ewrski]

I am not a rich man and thus don't want to shell out too much for a .38 special (+ p would be a plus) . I am looking to see if anyone knows who would have a pretty good selection of used .38 (snub nosed for carry) anywhere within 45 minutes of downtown Pittsburgh.

Any opinion on the Taurus 85? A place up in Butler seems to have a good price on a new one, but I hear different opinions on quality.

Powells in penn hills has a bunch.

my 2 favorites, ace defiantly has a larger selection, but the guys at shooters bench have been very very helpful, especially to the new shooter.

Ace in Washington PA is almost exactly 45 minutes away... they should have a good selection as well.

Perhaps this may be of some help...

Best I can do for you. I haven't been in any shops in months.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The Taurus is junk when compared to a Smith and Wesson or Ruger revolver. A used Smith or Ruger should be in a similar price range as a new Taurus. Go fondle them and look at the fit and finish yourself and make your own judgment...

I second the suggestion of Ace. H U G E selection, imo. I always stop by there when I pass near. Nice guys to work with and very knowledgeable.

30 minutes tops, traffic willing.
