Truth be told, I sold my only other 28-2 4" in 98% condition on a whim about eight months ago for $700.00 and have regreted it ever since. The opportunity came up to purchase this one and i was a little shaky on the price vs value/worth of it. I am still a little sticker shocked by the current prices and the demand is through the roof. Sure wish i would have had the forethought to have bought all the true "classic" S&W's I had the opportunity to buy in my travels. Granted that hindsight is 20/20, im fortunate to have all the horses that are in my stable.
