The 19-3 is the most common varient I see for sale and around here thats the average price for an "Average" 19-3.
CONDITION is everything.
If it is "MINT" condition or unfired with all docs and tools thats an OK price.
A shooter grade gun with various scratches etc than its an average price,
Anything in lower condition would not be worth an hour drive IMHO.

19-3
Thanks for the advise, bought it yesterday, cond... perfect, only very light turn ring, action & timing, tight and also perfect. It appears to have been shot very little. Also paid $25 less.

I see comments like this a lot. However in my area, if you can even find one, a 19 or 66 will go for > $550, and a P&R one will average about $100 more and that's usually no box.
Same on gun broker or other websites.
I want to know where this magical place is where you can pick up good condition S&W's for $450, because it aint here, even at gun shows.

The presentation is probably worth $75-$100 alone, I would go right away and bring some extra dough if possible, in case he has others.......

Tedog I tried to enhance a bit to bring out the color. Hope you don't mind. It looks like it's in very good shape. You did well.

Sir, I do not mind, I am thankful. Sometimes I think I'm to old to ever learn to post good pictures. It took my wife and I about1 hour to do the pic. post, but were learning. Thanks, Tedog
