S&W M19-5 value?

Hello,

I am considering a trade for my never been issued springfield mil-spec stainless, this model of revolver plus cash. I am not all that familiar with the model in question.

What would be a fair value assumption for the S&W M19-5? My unfired stainless mil spec was about 700 bucks (with mag and ammo, a loss of a tiny bit of money but so goes the game). How much extra cash would be fair on this trade?

Thanks guys.

Jon

+1. Assuming 95%+ condition and all-original...
  1. 4": $350-$450. Lowest value because it's by far the most common; I see more of these than the other lengths combined.
  2. 6": $400-$500, add $50 if it has "3T's"- target stocks, target hammer, and target trigger.
  3. 2½": $500-$600, very desirable for CCW.
  4. 3": $550-$700, not only desirable for CCW but also downright rare.
Yes, the value can double based on the barrel length. Seriously.

Oh yeah, add ~$50 for nickel finish.

carguy' is right on the pricing differences.
3" 19s are so rare, $700 seems a bargain to me...been wanting one for some time.
a 3" 66 (stainless version of the 19) regularly fetches $750 on up at Gunbroker.

Nickel would be closer to $100 more around here.
