4 screw S&W snub .38 spl.

What model? J, K or N frame?

I have seen similar condition S&W snubbies priced a lot higher than that. I would do it at $450 OTD.

Yea, if it's in decent shape it would be tagged at LEAST $450.00 around here. I'm guessing it's a Model 10? If it's a 12 or 15 it would most likely be more.

If I wanted it, and I'm not a big fan of "snubbies", I'd try to get if for less, but I wouldn't lose it over a few bucks.

"When was the last time I saw one for less? When do I think I'll see another one for less?"

Those usually settle things for me.

You got some nice ones there DS. The only snubbie I've got is a Model 12-2, but at one time I did have a 1955 M&P (a five screw) with a 2" barrel that was unfired, in the blue/gold box with the papers. Man that thing was NICE. kept it for a couple of years, but realized I was (1) never going to shoot it, and (2) wasn't really cut out to be a serious collector, so I sold it off to a someone who was.

Man, you talk about a nice gun though.

Sounds about like the going rate lately. If it were me, I'd buy it at that price.

I bought a couple Model 10 snubbies about a year ago, and pricing seems to have about doubled since. Plus they're just fun to shoot.

I have always admired your snub collection Deaf!

I wish I could find deals like that here in California. I was able to find an out of state dealer with a 1954 shipping dated Snubby pre 10. I had to get my 03FFL and get it shipped under the C&R exemption to a 01FFL pay import and registration fees and wait the 10 day. My $400 gun wound up $500 in all but it was worth it. My Grail gun is a S&W from 1951 my birth year. Nice find and have fun with that model 10 subby.

Say Deaf. I was in my LGS just yesterday and they had a really nice 2" Model 10-5 in the case.

Tagged price? $599.00.

Yea. I'd grab one for $450.00. Especially a four screw. They're less common than the fives.

All of my S&W snubbie have been of the J frame variety. Haven't come across too many Model 10 or the more elusive Model 12 snubbie but sure wouldn't mind finding one in decent shape at a reasonable price.

Funny thing about that dscampbell... I to have been looking for a S&W or Colt snub made.. in 1954.

Would be nice to pack a gun that was 'born' when I was.

If you ever run across a 1951 shipping date I will trade and pay all the transfer fees involved

Assuming it passes the checkout, I'd say $450 for a 2" pre-model 10 4 screw is a pretty good price. Not a raging deal, but definitely better than average.
