The following handguns are on sale at Academy Sports & Outdoors from July 21-27, 2013.
REVOLVERS.
Rossi .44 Mag, 2" barrel snubbie, 5 rounds, $339.99.
If you are tired of your lifelong dominant hand, get one of these, put 100 rounds of .44 Magnum
through it....voila! You will now have a different dominant hand!! :-)
Taurus Judge, .45LC/.410, 5 rounds, DA/SA, $529.99.
SEMI-AUTOMATICS.
Smith and Wesson SDVE, aka Sigma, 9MM/16+1; .40/14 + 1; DA, $289.99. This may not be everyone's FAVORITE
pistol but for the price maybe this is someone's new entry pistol, BUG, or car gun. If used as a car gun,
you'll have a good number of rounds in self defense calibers, and if your vehicle is burglarized, the gun
isn't that expensive.

I believe they are imported from Turkey. I've heard mixed things about TriStar shotguns, but haven't heard anything about their pistols.surprise_i'm_armed wrote: TriStar C-100, 9MM, 12 + 1 rounds, DA/SA, $329.99. This brand is unknown to me.
