In most places $600 is fairly decent for a nice 28-2 and they are making a steady climb. To me a local buy comes with an automatic $50 discount over anything I have to pay shipping and FFL transfer fee. I travel around the Montana a fair bit and constantly check the gun shops, pawn shops etc and decent used revolvers are hard to find and usually marked to the high end. Probably a good thing for me, if they were more common and cheaper I would have every credit card maxed out. LOL

I am surprised nobody has suggested you make him and offer for both, say $1200 and see where it goes. 28-2 makes a great range gun, softer recoil and will take anything you throw in it for a a long time. The 19 would make a better holster gun. But, then I have the "want them all illness".
