I paid $225 for this one almost 2 years ago. It's a 1993 vintage and came with 1 12 round magazine, no box, and most of the paperwork, including the original buyer's sales receipt. He acually paid almost the same amount 17 years earlier. Condition was very gently used.
I love that it uses the same magazines as my model 41. Trigger is a little gritty and heavy, but it actually shoots quite accurately. Fun factor is very high!!
I think S&W made a mistake dropping this model.
