The cheapest I've ever seen a shooter grade around here in $500 bucks. I finally gave in and bought one a year or so ago that had not been kept oiled and never cared for, but it is tight, and has matching number grips. I removed the surface rust with Ed's Red and a copper penny (after removing the grips and soaking it in the solution) and then waxed it. It's now a handsome 10' gun. Get any closer and you see the boo boos, but I'm not afraid to shoot it or drop it in a holster either. I do have a couple of guns like that, and I'm not so sure I'm the "right guy" for them. I'm in no form or fashion "a collector". So I don't mind a little character in my guns. I'm not in it for the money either, I just enjoy blasting at targets.
