I recently sold a 19-5 with no box for a little less than that here in California, and it took a while to "move".

For one with the box and papers, it's not a bad deal, and they aren't making 'em anymore any how.

They are classic revolvers, and great handling guns with excellent balance and pointability. 357's "snap" more than they do on an N-frame, but in my experience you're not going to hurt the gun unless you feed it a daily diet of 125-grain 357.
