Okay, all other things being equal, please tell me which of the two options you would choose. I'm new to handguns and am trying to determine the best deal. These are both offered by the same dealer:
NIB Ruger KGP100 .357 Magnum, 4" barrel, adjustable rear sight, $419.99. Will be on sale first week of September, price not yet set.
Used Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum, 4" barrel, groove rear sight, DA only. $259.99 including leather holster and speed loader.
I've seen the TFL thread on testing a used revolver, and plan to perform the tests before closing any deal. The big questions for me are the comparative value of the adjustable sight vs. the groove sight, as well as whether having DA only would be any sort of detriment. With the two in front of you, which do you choose? Depending on the discount on the new revolver, at what price point does it become the obvious choice?
