Is $580 a fair price for...

[Tom_R]

I think the price is high. Specially with the incorrect grips

Looks like I'll be having hamburger instead of steak for a while then

What do you think a fair price would have been? Bear in mind we think it has had a real nice trigger job performed on it too.

If I paid a little bit too much, then so be it. I still got something I wanted, and I have been looking for a while.

We don't get much for $500 let alone a $100 Nowadays. I'd grab it suck it up and pay for the new grips. I'm paying well over $500 for the 22cal & 38cal older revolvers. This hobby isn't so cheap anymore.

You paid $550 for a classic P&R N-Frame S&W. It will outlast you, and you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of it for the rest of your life. If you still had the $550 do you think it would last you that long?

The defense rests, Your Honor.

We're just a big 'ol bunch of enablers around here. (Your welcome).

You couldn't get one in my neck of the woods for that little outlay of cash...I think you did fine.

Think of it this way: You go to your local great hamburger place and pay at least $8 plus cost of a Coke and the tip. You do this once a week for a full year. Now, what do you have to show for it?

Now, a great gun and a year later.......you still have a great gun.

The model 28 has been under-rated and under-valued for some time. Enjoy your new gun and quit worrying over what you paid. They are great shooters and I'm sure yours is no exception.

A local pawn shop had a two 4" 28-2s in the case for over a year. Price tags were $529 and $549. Every so often, I'd go in and offer $450, and they'd decline. They both sold around this past December.
I guess I just didn't want one enough, or I was caught the past.

I'm still saying that is a little high.
