I'll go out on a limb here and say: .38 special is a very popular caliber in S&W's and 75% of those guns are not valued at $600. There's always the exception, but you need more info on the gun, as in model specifics. What your info says so far equates to I'm trying to value a Ford P.U. V8, no year, no model, just Ford V8, or maybe V6. No dig intended.
