Darn good price on a supermag. Make sure you ask the seller a few questions to see if he's legit, but he has 3 guns listed at good prices IMO. If had some spare cash I'd be all over the 7445.

SCAM! I asked for pics with the cylinder open and the top strap and I got the same pic thru the sights as is in the ad.
BTW I just grabbed this very gun from another site. Don't have it yet but its on its way. I hate Armslist, its like the wild west, if you can't meet face to face, I wouldn't even consider it.
I tried posting this as a scam on their site but got all kinds of grief for suggesting it was bogus, so I gave up.

Scorpio is 100% right about Armslist. There have been a couple of interest to me over time. Each time I asked for more details, the "seller" got hinky.

I'm certainly excited about seeing some real pictures once Scorpio receives this one!

I've done one transaction on Armslist and started another which I aborted because it was a scam. On the up side, I reported it to Armslist and they took immediate action to remove the seller and block the IP. The other transaction went beautifully, but I was nervous. The seller in the latter transaction DID provide all the pictures I asked for which meant he had the gun, but that wouldn't mean he would necessarily follow through with the transaction.
As enticing as it is, it's a site on which to be very careful.

Did you actually report this to them? I did that with a transaction and they jumped all over it.

Yes I did flag it twice and the listing is still up. http://www.armslist.com/posts/3830155/kansas-handguns-for-sale--dan-wesson-445-supermag-445-
WARNING! This seller is a scammer! I can say that with confidence since the revolver in the pics is sitting on my desk as I type this. The (real) gun was in Florida, not Kansas. I contacted the 'seller' of the bogus listing and asked for more pics and got the same pics used in the ad along with a lame excuse about his camera malfunctioning. Had a very middle eastern sounding email address for what ever that's worth.
Buyer Beware should be the motto of that site.
