A LGS has two Detective Specials. Both appear to me to be about 20% over priced, but I haven't tried to talk to the staff about any possible deals or actually checked out either yet. Number 1 is an older model with quite a bit of cosmetic wear, but doesn't appear to have been fired all that much for $399. Number 2 is a late model (large grips, no taper or turn down on the outside of the barrel) - almost pristine with no box or papers for $599. Side by side, the late model looks to be quite bulky due to the grip size compared to its elder, yet it looks nice in a substantial sort of way.
I intend to get a non-collector grade DS some day (maybe not either one of these if the price is firm) and lean heavily toward the older model for seemingly better hiding characteristics. Is there any love for the later model DS?
