More and more it sounds like this 1903 is not worth getting. Keep in mind that there were over 500k made. $350 isn't a steal considering the condition. Couple that to the relative low power 32 acp with RN or FMJ standard round nose bullets (the gun was not designed to feed hollow points) and I say keep looking if you plan on carrying at all. If it was a 1908 380 then everything would be different (only 65K of those made). This particular 1903 isn't a great collectible due to condition and high production and its today a poor choice for SD due to caliber and bullet types for the gun.
