I have a Scandium 360 SC in 357 with a 3"barrel and high vis sight. I bought it new a couple of years ago to carry hiking, fishing, hunting, etc.

It doesn't look like Smith makes this configuration anymore and I am not sure that they made many when they did.

Is this gun considerably more valuable than the Scandium guns Smith is making now. I am just wondering if I should beat it around in the woods. I also have a friend at work who is interested in it and wondered what a fair price would be if I decided to sell it.

Thanks

I have one of the 360 Kit Guns. I replaced the HiViz sights with a normal black, serrated ramp front/square notch rear. Much better for me. The gun is light enough that heavy loads move it around erratically before the bullet can clear the barrel. Accuracy under those conditions is tough. Moderate loads work well. It is a great woods carry gun.

Don’t know how many were made, but not that many. Don’t sell! I don’t believe in selling anything. Too many stories of seller’s remorse. I like mine enough I bought it a companion: a 3” 317. I changed out the sights on it as well.

I like your idea of the sight switch. The high-vis sight is great for shooting, but not so good for carry.
