This is a shooter.....nothing more. No hidden collector value etc. Just one of the best duty revolvers S&W ever made. I have a very nice example from Anchorage AK PD in my collection.
But, I bought this one ,made in 1977 with a "2d" series serial number, for shooting/carrying. A set of Hogue finger groove grips with go on it & I have several HKS speedloaders. Stoked w/ 125 JHPs , it'll be perfect for CCW purposes. It was in an online auction and...yes I wildly overpaid for it.
Best,
Charles
