Here’s an old timey fighting pistol from back in the day:
4” Smith & Wesson 3rd Model Hand Ejector (Model of 1926) in 44 special

It’s been refinished at least once and under the period incorrect PC Magnas there appears to be remnants of its original Nickel Finish (coulda been bumper shop chrome at some point) but for less than $300 I couldn’t pass it up.
Not a screaming deal but I have a personal rule that says I must buy ever shootable N frame I find prices below 400 bucks.
A third model hand ejector for under four hundred? I'd call buying that a matter of religious principle. If you're going to shoot it much, you want the larger grips. The originals will cause the gun to rust because even with a lightly loaded .44 Specials you'll end up bleeding. I suspect the original tiny N-frame stocks did more than anything to give the custom grip making business a boost.
