Buy a used S&W 34 or 63. ( Your right, the new 317's are overpriced) These are common and about the same price as a new Taurus. The S&W will deliver better quality and value. ( i.e. You won't have to get on your knee's and beg to sell it for 50cents on the dollar should you ever need to. Been there.Done that.)

p.s. The Ruger Sp 101 would be my second choice. Mine was a VG shooter . it did need some cosmetic /action smoothening out of the box though. Nice guns overall but the one your looking at is about $20% overpriced IMHO.
