During lunch today I decided to take a short hop to the next town & stopped at a gun shop. Looking over the used revolvers, I spotted this piece.
Blue Model 57-1, 4" barrell, red ramp front sight & adjustable rear. Lockup appears nice & tight, action is smooth. Minor finish wear on the muzzle & frame corners near the trigger guard only. The gun is wearing Pachmayr finger groove grips. This is a nice, used gun.
Can anyone advise what price would make this gun difficult to walk away from? The quoted price was $350, which might be considered fair but doesn't strike me in my "Buy Now!" meter. But, I haven't been looking at revolver prices lately & might be out of touch with reality.
I've always liked S&W revolvers, and a blue .41 would fit nicely between my stainless .357 (Model 686-2) & stainless .44 (Super Blackhawk). But this is the financial crush time of year, & if the price isn't right I'd just as soon let it go.
I'd appreciate some feedback friends - & thanks for taking the time!
