I have no idea what these guns are worth, but I've had one a long time. They are capable of surprising accuracy, but like all J-frame guns, they're not nearly as easy to shoot well as a larger framed gun. Being a skilled shooter will certainly help. Try at least five or six ammos; that often makes a a big difference with .22s if you're shooting beyond ten or fifteen yards. A 63 or 34 will do well at 25 yards, but it takes some work to find this out.
