Not me. It may be a gun that was carried a lot and shot little. But when I looked at the photos, the knurling of the ejector rod is rusty. I’ve seen a couple model tens that looked pretty Grodi on the outside, but the internals were fine. It’s still a crapshoot
Considering that it would cost close to $400 with shipping, tax, and FFL fees, that’s a gamble I’m not willing to take.
I would guess from looking at the gun that it's shiny because the person just liked it shiny. In my case, thats the only way I really care for stainless, to make it look like nickel. In its most common appearance, stainless holds little interest.
Being able to clean up finish glitches is also one reason many like stainless, its something you can do at home. I wouldnt necessarily consider it a negative if some finish glitches were cleaned up and it was well done.
Sigh. I don't really like J-frames; I think they're really too small for useful shooting out of them. I bought a 22lr J-frame because I figured I should know how to use one, but...that was it. I have a Colt Night Cobra (new one) that I can't hit crap with; I don't know if it's me or the gun so I got the 22lr J-frame to see. So far it's coming down 50/50 me and the gun...
I went to a local-ish store this morning, and they had a 642-1 (no lock) for $299 + tax. Dated May the twoth, 2014.
Anyway, so now I have this J-frame in 38+P that I probably won't like and probably won't be able to shoot for shit, to go with the Colt Cobra and the 22lr 43c...
