I bought a used S&W model 17-8 in the box three or four years ago. It's the one with the bead blast finish and the aluminum 10 shot cylinder. I bought it on a whim because I never see blued model 17s in my area and it wasn't a bad price at the time.

Now, I'm thinking I would like to have a nice blued model 17 or 18. I would have to buy it online as I never see them here and I would have to sell or trade something to do it, probably the 17-8.

I know it's up to me, but I'm just curious to know what some of you would do.
