Default Model 30

I’ve had the revolver bug again, and debating whether to get myself a no lock new 442 or go for a nice prelock gun. Typically I prefer to buy new, because I’m just ocd like that, but really love older Smiths. Currently I’m debating whether to get a 442 for a trail/car/shooting, verses get me a nice vintage model. Pawnshop nearby has some, there’s a 2 inch Model 30 snub in 32 s&w with original box papers that I’m eyeing, and I just love the quality and fit of the older ones and the p&r details. Budget is just over 400. I’m still no expert on revolvers or guns in general so buying used worries me a little, I know how to check lockup and cylinder wobble and all that stuff but my ocd kicks in if I buy a used gun and wonder if there’s anything hidden. Should I just get the 442 or way to hell with it and pick up that Model 30? Haven’t looked at it yet but hopefully tmrw l’ll get to.
