These used to go for $250 or so several years ago but like everything else they’ve gone up. You don’t see the 3” version everyday. I couldn’t resist, I had to pick one up. Something about old guns just tugs at my wallet.lol
Found a cool old model 10 box documents and receipt from Gun corral( Gun shop that used to be in Avondale) about a decade ago in a demo house. Think the receipt was for $110.
Thought to myself hey thats probably worth picking up.
Listed it online and sold the empty box & docs to a collector in less than 5 minutes for $40. Glad I was able to get it to someone who appreciated it and it didnt go to a landfill.
I have my Dad’s combat masterpiece service revolver. Because of the sentimental value, it is a safe queen but I do pull it out on some range days.
I try to introduce people to shooting and often let them move up from shooting 22s to mild 38s in the S&W. It is a joy to shoot.
