I've read up on how to check out a used revolver, but I'd like to get an opinion on the prices. I'm looking to get a Ruger KGP-161 (.357 mag, 6" barrel, SS). The local gun dealer will sell me a new one for $575. He had a used one yesterday that he sold to someone in Dec 2005 (I verified this with the serial number & Ruger's website). I have no clue how many rounds were fired though it. I'm memorizing the checklist so I can perform the checks on it this afternoon.
All that to say this... He's wanting $475 for this used one. That's only $100 off a new one. Would I be better served to just get a new one or to check this one out and haggle him down to a lower price. If the latter, what should I attempt to bring the price down to?
Thanks guys
