Nostalgia is pricey!, Many of use carried wheel guns when the only semi-autos were 1911's or browning hi-powers. A good model 66, 19 or 686 that sold new for $350 in the 80's will now fetch over a grand used. I search pawn shops and old mom & pop gun stores with used inventory. I often come across older wheel guns that when re-barreled and upgraded are like new and custom again. Much less price also.
