A couple of months ago, I was cruising the gunshops in town and came across 2 guns I'd been thinking would be perfect for some of my hiking trips - 3", fixed sight .357 revolvers. One was a GP100, and the other was a Model 13 S&W.
The 13-3 S&W was nearly pristine externally, and looked to have been fired very little. I put money on it, and finally paid it off this week when I got my tax return. $489.00 plus tax, if you're interested/trying to price them out. A bit more than I wanted to spend, and about $80 more than the Ruger.
Had it out 2 times after work, and I'm very pleased with it. Not so enamored of the round-butt Magna grips for shooting magnum cartridges. They look very nice on it, and work alright for .38 Specials, but sure don't do much for shooting stability when I put magnums in it.
Looking at getting a rubber Hogue grip for it, though that won't be nearly so lovely. I'm currently debating the monogrip vs the bantam. I think I will get a bantam.
This is a very practical, righteous piece of hardware.
