Best option is to start scouring the gun shows. That, & do a road trip looking at any & all gun shops you can find. Especially go into a town or area you rarely go.
I've been quietly looking at getting a Sig for a few years for USPSA "Carry Optics" division. I've played the raffle games at (6) FoNRA events trying to win one w/o any luck. (Watched my son win one though.) Then, a few weeks back,, my better half & I were planning a dinner at a favorite upscale restaurant in a nearby town we seldom go to except to eat. Well, we planned a day of loafing & hitting gun shops & thrift stores. I found an elusive Sig 320 Legion series. AND at a very fair price. It' pays to be vigilant & go out of the way from the "normal" places.

He was out of town on one I found and then I heard about a 5.5 and one of our tow LGS's and we were a couple days late. He lives in the Wasilla/Palmer/Anchorage area and I'm up here in Fairbanks. Nothing for 350 miles in between but Great Alaska Wilderness! |

41 magnum is the scarce item around east texas and very high on the want list.

I can imagine that it's not as easy to find one in AK as it might be here in the lower 48. I didn't think about that angle.
Good luck in finding one!

It's even harder finding a donor grade one. I have a perfect condition 45 take off barrel from my 500. Wanting to do a tight rechambering piece from a 44. They're all priced like gold when you do see one now.

Thanks all for your replies and messages. I'll pass on the info. He'll be here today then headed out moose hunting for a couple weeks. So, who knows what will be around when he returns. Thanks again.
