Good deal?

[gregr]

Can anyone tell me if this a good deal and any more about it? I'd like to hear experience before I take the plunge.

I can't answer your question since I'm not familiar with those pistols, but my gut tells me it's kind of expensive. I can think of other models I'd buy if I had $700 to spend.  One thing I can say is, are you sure you want to get such a short barrel?  From your number of posts I'm going to guess that you're new to cowboy action shooting (CAS), if that is your intended use of the gun. 

The best advice I can give you is to go to a match and try out a few different models to see what caliber/barrel length/brand/etc. you feel is most comfortable and natural.  People at the matches will be all over you to try out their guns when you tell them you're new and interested in joining the sport.  Most folks are really eager to recruit new shooters and almost all are proud of their firearms. 

The typical range of barrel lengths is about 4.75" to 7.5".  Calibers range from .32 to .45.  If you're going to put out $700 for a pistol, take a test drive first. 

Welcome, and whatever you decide to do about the pistol, Enjoy!

Not a good deal.  The old AWA's were made by Armi San Marco (ASM).  ASM is long out of business.  If you want a Sheriff's model you can get a new Uberti much cheaper than that.

Thanks for the adivice.... I am very new to Cowboy Action shooting. I was not intending to use this as such, but was intriqued and though it was a beautiful gun for the collection. (I tend to buy things I like with no real reasons) But I like to get a deal and am hunting GA almost daily.

Thanks again.
