I got a Ruger SS with a blue finish. It has a 6.5 inch barrell. I paid 250 for it, now I'm thinking I paid too much. I shot it yesterday and it performed flawlessly, the accuracy is so much better than my little semi's! I really love the gun and the fact that I used a gun I had but didn't like as much makes me feel a little better about the buy. When someone says its "90%" condition what do they mean? I mean, how can you tell? This was part of an estate sale and the guy participated in shooting matches so I am sure the gun got a lot of use. I can't see any obvious damage and it seems to function well. The parts on the cylinder are sharp and unworn. The primers have nice centered strikes. The finish right above the cylinder is a little rough but the rest looks ok to me.
