Model 520 NYSP
How many owners of these gems had one NIB and fired it?

Mine doesn't have a box but is in excellent condition. Had to the range once.

I'll never shoot mine. I looked too long and hard for it.

I owned one for about 30 years and was the second owner. I fired about 300 rounds during that time and the previous had fired about 100 rounds.

I had a NIB model 520 I never shot, and I bought one without a box and shot that one. It was a great shooting gun and very comfortable for my big hands. Sadly, I let a friend talk me into selling it to him.

I've had a flawless boxed example for years, but it's remained unfired since being released to the public.
A few years ago, I found a nice shooter here for a fair price and jumped on it immediately. I shoot it regularly, and it has become my favorite .357 revolver.

Craig Spegel grips. Waited about a year, but worth it.
