I'm in CA. It's worth it to me if it is in nice condition. No if it's beat to heck. $650 is about right for our market. If I wanted one I wouldn't worry about that price too much. If I didn't want one, I would pass, knowing I will eventually find one cheaper one day. Good news about CA is I have not had issues finding the 3rd Gens of interest to me. And you could buy worse for that amount.

Btw, they sell real quick under $600 here in CA. Asking this question on the boards here will result in many different answers with most finding a better deal than you outside of CA.

I had a Lady Smith, sold it, didn't care for the LS markings on the slide. I have had a few variations of the model. Now I have the 3913TSW and it's a keeper for now. All of which were had for less than the one your thinking about. Good luck and the 3913 is a favorite for many members here.
