Don't know the value but both of the ones I fired were superb revolvers. Oh damn, I just admitted an S&W was a great gun!

I think I own around 20-25 S&W N-frames. They are all excellent guns - all of them. Pre-lock and pre-two piece barrel makes it even better. Last time I was in South Texas similar revolvers were going for around $550.00. If you really like the gun I'd recommend going at least that high (I don't know how prices run in Michigan). The odds aren't good that these are going to get any cheaper as time goes by.

I agree with budroe. All kidding aside I own a 25-2 and wouldn't trade it for anything.
What a thing for a Colt guy to say!!

Well, I'm still leading... and will try to get it! Thanks, guys!!! :D
