Bought a 686 CS-1 today, did I steal it?

I was in your shoes earlier this year.

Just took it to the range last week. A keeper for sure.

I have a 4" CS-1 that I picked up several years ago for $289. It has the bead blasted finish and Pachmayer grips. I thought the bead blasted finish was cool at first, but there are thousands of pits for residue to get into, making it hard to clean. But it still gets shot occasionally. Once my wife shot it, it became "her" wheelgun.
