Best deal on a new revolver ever?
I recently purchased a new Taurus M85 from Palmetto State Armory. It's a standard blued, all steel frame for $199.99. Taurus is running a promotional rebate for 40% off on all their 85 series revolvers, bringing down the total to $149.99.
On top of that, I applied and received a new NRA credit card. I will receive a $40 statement credit on a first purchase using that card which, of course, I used to buy the Taurus, plus 0% APR for the first six billing cycles plus the representative said I will also get 5% back on sporting goods purchases but I don't know if that last one applies to firearms or items outside the NRA store or not.
After shipping and FFL transfer fees I should come out paying about $155.00, maybe $10 less if that 5% back applies. I couldn't even get a new Taurus TCP for that price right now and even if I could it wouldn't be on a comparable level as an M85.
Say what you want about Taurus, but this is an unbeatable deal on a new concealed carry revolver. I don't think it's possible I will ever get anything that is comparable at that price.
Alternatively, you could spend $20 more and get the Ultra-Lite model, still a great deal.
