Agreed. I went to an area gun show Saturday and out of about 100 dealers at the show only two had any. The first had a used 3" and asking $640.
Having done my homework I wished him good luck and moved on. I eventually found another one with a new 4" (which is exactly what I was looking for) blue in the box for $460 so I snatched it up. The dealer promptly put out another one. He had 4 total and echoed what several other dealers said, that they were on national back order.
Now to find some .45 long colts. No luck so far. Also on national back order around here.
Check your local gun stores for Ammo. I buy some at each gun show. You will like this gun. My wife enjoys shooting it also.
