Yeah, these are excellent revolvers. I don't care for the spindly thin grips, so if you intend on swapping those out that's another $20-50.

Is it .38 or .357?

$400 for an excellent .357 or even a .38 is a very good price... I simply prefer the .357 for versatility and self defense. But either way, you won't lose money at $400, and I think these value will double in the near term. Since these manufacturing processes aren't done any longer, and these hand-fitted and hand polished metal guns are disappearing into collections, these are along the same lines as the popular Colt revolvers now commanding north of $1000...

I've stumbled on these a couple years ago and been buying them when I see them all between $300-400. Going to buy an abused Security Six 357 this weekend for $300... Figure it'll make a good back-woods or truck gun. And $200 worth of refinishing could result in a new looking gun.
