WC: Wow! Did you do good! Amazing that you bought it from a gun shop at a show & they didn't know any better. I snagged one at a show a little over a year ago for $600 and thought I'd made a killing. I'd buy a 2nd one tomorrow for the price you paid. It's a great gun both in size (for my smallish hands) and calibre. Every time I open my safe, it wants to go to the Range. I have the hardest time taking some other Smith model out & leaving it behind. If I had to sell off all my modern revolvers but one, I don't know which other one it would be. Good for plinkin', good for competition, good for carry.

Hardiest Congrats!
