If my SNS history is correct (I never really got into the SNS revolvers)I believe the Windicator is manufactured by Weihrauch GmbH and as the HW-357 model. Late 50's into mid 60's Weihrauch exported a lot of Zamak pistols which were sold under various names by a number of importers; for example the HW-357 was once marketed by FIE as the Titan Tiger. Of course, models have evolved with time, but as @OldOutlaw pointed out, melting point laws make the some of the Windicators illegal to sell in some states; and @histed mentioned it's C9 heavy so my conclusion is it's gotta be Zamak.

Not that model. It is steel. They say so. But watch the description under "Frame Description." If it simply says Blued, may not be steel. Other models like this one state "Blued Alloy" https://www.impactguns.com/Revolver...rrel-Blue-Finish-6-Round-741566103599-770125/ EAA Windicator page. https://eaacorp.com/product/windicator/
I used to have the old Rossi 851, one of the few revolvers i had that i really liked. Never had a problem with it, accurate and reliable.
This beauty was in fact the product of someone who REALLY Needed MONEY. It was on consignment at my #1 LGS for Transfers ($10!!!) for the paltry sum of $658.xx and included: 1. LWD longslide 2. LWD 6.61" 460R barrel 3. COMPLETE Glock 21, well-used Gen3 4. 100 rounds of UNDERWOOD 460R ammunition! I added up the prices of all items NEW and arrived at a figure somewhere north of $1500 and decided I could not let it get away. My LGS ROCKS! No KILL like OVERKILL!
That's probably because the density of hunters is much lighter in your neck of the woods. Here in the Mainland, there are places where the hunters are more clustered on a routine basis, so the bears do learn to go after game hunters take. They have been known to follow hunters, waiting for them to shoot something.
Agreed. Here, in my part of AK (The Interior): the animals to hunt are caribou, bear and moose. Depending on the area, pretty low hunter density. When I was in the Lower 48, I'd avoid the woods during hunting season. A Holes shot at anything that moved.
They are small, and off the main path, I think they do this to increase traffic. They also have all in stock items online, including the consignment stuff. Same way I got the DEAGLE, it was on consignment but I saw it before it was listed! Cool Shop... http://www.terrehauteguns.com/
You ain't just whistle'n Dixie. I suppose I could still cancel the order and give you the $250 But, truthfully, it's not that big a deal. I knew it'd take a good long time. Peace favor your sword, Kirk
