Darn thing sold for $3706!!!!
What makes this worth the 3706$?
Exclusively orders a low number of each one and they’re available from LH for a limited time.I paid less that that (total) for a New In Box M66-1, New In Box M58 and New in Box M27-2. What does Lew do to these that jacks them up so much?

I read about the hoopla associated with some folks buying a gun directly from Mr. Ross. Those threads took up volumes of internet bandwidth .John Ross used to do the same. S&W PC required 500 examples to be made and bought outright. The JRC 500's were made in this minimum quantity, with 250 in stainless and 250 in black. So i suppose at least color changes could be done within a 500 minimum order.
The S&W Performance Center guns are exquisitely crafted. Very pleased with my JRC 500. PC guns keep going up in value.
The JRC500s go for about the same as the LH above did. JRA (black) and JRC (stainless) 0001 serials sold in 2019 for a bit over $4k and $3k respectively. It wasnt long ago that the still unsold JRCs were available through John. Not many people wanted a 5" un-braked 500 S&W...
Can you elaborate just a bit?I read about the hoopla associated with some folks buying a gun directly from Mr. Ross. Those threads took up volumes of internet bandwidth .
Lipsey’s and TALO Distributors (For a group out of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, if I’m not mistaken?) have made deals with Ruger for exclusive special issues all the time. Some of these guns are really cool.. and almost always sell at least MSRP or higher.
Come to think of it, I think my 5.5” Flattop .44 Spl. Blackhawk was originally a Lipseys catalog item. I bought it very lightly used off GB a few years back.
Stay safe.

I've seen red and blue wranglers available only through lipseys before. The red caught my eye.
Lol yeah, ive read and partook in them too. Always defending the gun, but not JR himself. I got mine second hand. The gun, built by the S&W PC is one of the best constructed and functioning guns i own... Which includes some really sought after Colts. Fit and finish is outstanding. Im not a S&W fan, but if the right PC model (like the LH model above) pops up for a good price (not like the LH lol) i would jump on it.I read about the hoopla associated with some folks buying a gun directly from Mr. Ross.
