I purchase almost all of my C&R handguns from wholesalers
The auctions seem to have higher prices - but not always and of course, there are guns not currently being sold by the wholesalers.
The "trick" is to keep up with what's currently being offered and buy the ones you want as they become available. Otherwise, you end up paying more.
Again, that is for "newly available" guns - not the other thousands of models that are on the general used market.
And what you buy just depends on your personal tastes - some like "standard" cartridge chamberings only and others like unique or more interesting chamberings like the nagant.
I like both.
