I own a few 915's and would recommend buying this one. As others have stated, $450 is a good price in Kalifornia for this, but I wouldn't even consider it to be that expensive elsewhere, considering the condition and low round count.

My main 915 is on my hip as I write this, and often gets used as a house gun as well as carried in the Winter. Lightweight, accurate, and reliable as any other S&W 3rd Gen. I actually prefer the 915's frame to other aluminum 59xx guns, since it doesn't have the stepped side.

My 915's have bobbed hammers, Trijicon SA04 night sights, and one-piece guide rods. The finish isn't the best, but a bit of oil on the slide/hammer keeps it protected just fine from rust.
