That's a good price. I picked mine up 3 years ago for the same money. a LGS in my AO has a used one for 600. Sold in 30 minutes. Great guns. Trigger is a little heavy but typical for 22LR. Great carry package for low vis with Federal Punch. I have about 1k rounds through mine.

Jump on that! That's what I bought my 43c for....cheap practice in place of my 642-1. And for just plinking fun.

For that price, I'd grab it. They aren't very common and are usually more expensive. If you want to "kick the tires", check the trigger pull, the little Smith .22s 43, 63 have had a rep for either having a nice trigger or heavy/rough trigger rarely in between.

Isn’t that the model that has the worst reputation for misfires and other quality issues that S & W currently makes?
That seems to be the current reputation...............
I have one but I've never shot it in about 10 years. It's still NIB, along with it's slightly bigger brother, Model 351C. Haven't shot it yet either.
I'd jump on it. You may have to experiment with different brands/loads. Then again, who doesn't? Eight-shots of Stingers are in mine. 
After replacing the stock hammer spring on my 43C (with one from Numrich) it has been 100% dependable.

You need BUY IT before some else buys it.
