    Best deal I saw was the Taurus PT-92 (9mm) for $329. They did the PT-101 (.40) a few years ago at $299. It was pretty popular at that price...I saw five people buying them in about a 30 min time frame.

    They also had a blue Rossi 44 Mag revolver listed for $259... A great buy for a truck or glove compartment pistol.

    I think I'll pick up one - and another Raptor shotgun, just to have.

    scroll down and look for the attached file on the left side of the screen.

    I just wonder how many Taurus PT-92's are going to be available and how long you actually have to stand in line to get one....never been to academy sports on BF...

    After getting the two pistols home -- and cleaning the excessive amount of oil off of them, I have to say that both the Rossi 44 Magnum and the Taurus PT92 were great buys! The Rossi revolver will make a very nice "truck" gun, and the Taurus -- with the 19+1 capacity and integrated rail for a light-- will make a great bedside table pistol.

    Sorry about my dyslesic pricepoint for the PT-92.... my nieghbor and I were numbers 4 & 5 in line and each of us bought the PT-92. The tables there were set upnto process 3 people at a time. While I liked the. 44 magnum they had I don't even want to think of the kick that small gun will have. We were in line outside for a few hours; from what I saw here were about 40 of each gun type for the sale. Now the ' three ' day wait till next Thursday per Academy Sports...

    It definitely pays to have a CWL... No waiting period!

    The Rossi .44 Magnum is really a 2 3/8" barrel. There was enough room that they could have left it a 2 1/2 or even 2 5/8" when they cut it down after import. It isn't a large frame revolver either - more like an L frame sized S&W with the 5-shot cylinder.

    Stoked with full-power Magnum loads - it could make a nice woods gun in predatory animal areas. Thank goodness they didn't port these - I despise ports on a defensive handgun.

    The fiber optic front sight is the weak link on the revolver - the insert easily comes out with a fingernail. I think it needs a drop of loctite...
