I posted a couple of days ago asking how the prices on new stock were at Cabela's. Lots of folks said that it is about MSRP. Well, I've been interested in getting a 637. I went down there today, with my $20 off $150 coupon and $71 in Cabela's Club points to look. They had a sale on All J-Frames (sans CT grips) for $399.99. So having browsed online, I knew that was a decent price. I took a look at the one under glass, and said "I'll take it." Well, the one under glass is not the one they sell you. He pulled a presumably new one from the stock room, and stupid me, I did not inspect it. Here's what I found when I got it home.
Is that the worst crown & rifling you've ever seen on a new gun? What's S&W coming to these days
The lockup doesn't seem very tight, and the cylinder release is very stiff. Anyway, they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee right on the reciept. I called them and told them I was bringing it back in the morning. I hope they have a nicer one for exchange, because frankly I really do want it.
