Perusing a local gunshop I came across a 1 year old 637-2 J frame. Condition was unfired after the factory test, price??? $304.67 just couldn't pass this one up.
Around here the market for used J frames has pretty much cratered. I picked up a practically new 638 for $325 a couple months ago. The market is flooded with J frames, at least the Airweight models.
Agreed, I picked up 3 bnib mod 36 Ladysmith's with beautiful blue finishes. Put Altamont Silver Black grips on em and just ordered Altamont Super Rosewood grips for this airweight. When I got this one, they did have a sts model with shrouded hammer, but, as progressive as I am, I need an exposed hammer.
