There's a blue one with 5 1/2" barrel, with the box and everything
for sale locally for $500.00. I'm wondering if I should call the guy.

There are several on Gunbroker right now for that kind of money, and a couple still quite a bit less.

Thanks cubrock. I don't want to spend a bunch right at the beginning of summer when the account is full, but it's hard to resist a 44 Special.
