New model 18-3

[schwantz]

Just picked up this 18-3 from a LGS. Came with correct box and stocks, but no tools or paperwork. Been looking for one for several years. Price may have been high at $800, but I'm still pleased.

Looks to be in very nice condition. I wouldn't expect to find it priced at less than $800 where I shop and likely it would be more.

Looks to be in great condition and will make a fine partner for a Model 15. I have one and no regrets.

Scary to say, but $800 for an excellent copy of a vintage M18 is about the norm now. If it came with the box and papers even more! I've never regretted spending a few extra dollars for a firearm that was worth it. Remember, there are very very few "bargains" out there! Those who try and save a few bucks usually wind up spending more in the long run and have nothing but a refinished or repaired revolver that will never be the original.

18-3

I've got a dash 3 myself. No Box or Docs. Bought it a few
years back, paid $800 and was real glad to get it at that price.
About the same condition as yours. They are a real pleasure to shoot.

Regards,
Dick

Nice Model 18-3, you'll not be sorry you made that purchase.
Congratulations on finding that one.

Very nice! There's hardly even a turn ring, and looks overall pristine. Any signs of even being fired elsewhere on the gun?
I think you did OK and long term you'll be very pleased.

I would have charged you $800 for that one.

You will never be sorry, they're great guns. lots of fun to shoot

I don't think I'd have "hemed and hawed" over that one very long before I said "I'll take it."

The Model 18 is my favorite revolver. I have two 18-3s myself. One of them almost always finds it way into my bag on almost every range trip.
Its a great gun for practicing DA shooting. I give my 18-3s full credit for teaching me how to properly shoot a DA revolver.

And yes, $800 is about the normal price these days.

I bought a Model 18 "no dash" 4 screw a couple of years ago at the LGS. $850. No regrets. Those .22 S&W's are FUN. I think you will get many years of enjoyment from that revolver.

Obviously fired, but doesn't appear to be excessive.
