$850 sounds about right. That's a nice one.

Ha. I'm sorry but I couldn't help it. Someone said a long time ago to never do math in public. Sure glad I've never done that.

Found a real nice 18-3 (1975) at my LGS on May 23d, due to city regulation, it can't be sold for 20 days. This means that the state paperwork will be processed today and then I can pick it up on June 22d. Regardless of all this, it's a great little revolver, literally an old lady gun. Apparently the gentleman who put it on consignment said it belonged to his mother. It's like new condition and really doesn't seem to have been fired much. The seller couldn't find the box and etc. Anyway, for $550, I feel like I had my Jesse James mask on that day. I now have the mate to my mod 15-3.

T-Guy, very nice looking 18-3. I have the exact twin to yours, in fact was just shooting mine today This one seems to like Winchester Super X 40 grain HP ammo. That's 2 guns full into 1 1/2".

My Model 18-3 ran me $650 after the smoke blew away, but no box papers or tools for me. They do get looks @ the range fellow next to me glanced @ mine & said "they sure don't blue them like that anymore"

Enjoy yours!
