Don't tell him that. He's torturing us enough as it is. The 10-10 rocks. I seriously lust after the shrouded 3" Smiths.Photobucket can upload pics in bulk

Was a guy at the show today with a 2.5" 66, a pair of 3" 13s, a 3" 65, and a cherry 3" 10, and not a one of 'em was less than half a grand. There was a beautiful early 28-2 at another table with a $650 sticker, which is a hundred bucks more than I paid for that likely-unfired 27-2. I'm priced slap out of the Hand Ejector market.
I'm standing pat on my H.E. holdings and looking into undiscovered Smith country: Small-frame top-breaks and 3rd Gen autos.
I've been stalking GB for 3" K frames. They go for ridiculous amounts.

The little 32 hand ejectors are still semi-sane aren't they?
I think a 3 1/4" one would make a dandy OMG and grouse shooter. Would be cheap and fun to shoot also.
I was looking for a 19 for a project. Then my smith said we should go L or N frame. So I started looking for a 25 in 45LC. DB recently talked me into a 28, but I'm having a hard time swallowing these prices. I thought having spent the better part of two decades looking for custom 1911's that I couldn't be sticker-shocked. But I'm once again very wrong
To quote Shootin' Buddy: "How much should S&W revolvers cost? $200!"
Prewar .32 and .38 I-frames are probably the Final Frontier of cheap Hand Ejectors. Even garden-variety 4" 10s with carry wear are trading for three-and-a-half to four bills these days, it seems.
(And lord help you if the barrel's pinned; they think that means it's a Registered Magnum...)
That sort of depends. The K frames are crazy expensive. Those that got them usually know what folks will pay. The J frames are a little better, I see the 30's and 31's listing for $450ish and either dropping to the $350 range or getting removed from the market. The I frames are all over the place. I've seen prices from $250 all the way up to $800 and not a lot of difference in quality. I'm not a fan of the top-breaks so I can't comment on those much.
I'm still holding out for a 1905 Savage but that's a conversation for a different thread. :-)
