A year ago, 280 maybe- these days id say you did pretty good! It is a high quality wheel gun- take care of it, be proud

Everyone needs a model 10 ... Paid just shy of $200 for my 10-7 around a year ago. Not the most pristine thing, but it shoots to POA with the cheap range ammo and has one of the best trigger pulls I've ever felt. Doubt I'd ever be tempted to part with it.

Oh Yeah? 1949 production 6" M&P 99% finish, matching numbers (even the diamond grips) all in original gold box for $250 three years ago

Fantastic! Those 4 inch barreled models were usually favored by police, back when revolvers were carried. When I was shooting competitively, the 4 inch barreled revolvers beat all others in rapid fire and timed fire, in slow fire the 6 inch barrels and 8 inch barrels came out ahead.
That's a real practical piece.

swamp, you have an added bonus with the heavy barrel by the way- you can shoot +P ammo all day long and the revolver wont break a sweat!
Thats a nice one.
I bought a 10-8 about a month ago from a former NYPD officer. I got it for $220 I believe shipped. He made me a smoking deal but mine has a lot more holster wear than yours. Mine is really accurate and feels good in the hand. I think you will enjoy it. Its a classic I would not part with it.
