Yep, everyone thinks that the old, beat up LEO trade in M10 they bought 15 years ago for $150 bucks is now worth $400 simply because a LNIB one sells for that much to a collector. I still can't see putting more then $400 into ANY S&W revolver, even the Lou Horton 657, 2.5" round butt that I use to own back in '89. It was a nice revolver but dang, there are just so many better options for Home Defense these days for $400 that I can't see putting that into a revolver and I DO love revolvers. Just not going to give my left gonad for one.
P.S.
I guess I could always jump on the ol' band wagon and list my 642-2 for sale at $500 bucks, someone would appreciate this "classic" revolver enough to pay that price for it. LOL
