I'm currently going to send in a permit for a Smith & Wesson 629 Classic, you need permits in Finland for every gun, anyway I stumbled on this S&W M17-2 for 290 euros (maybe 350-380 USD):
The store selling it claims good condition, circa 1500 shots through it. I've always wanted a S&W M17 and this one looks pretty good, it's one of the older models with the pinned barrel, probably made sometime in the 60s.
I am stongly considering tossing in another application form at the same time (do more than one form per time and the others are half price). Although it is on the other side of the country and I cannot personally inspect the gun. Though maybe someone I know will go there next week and check it out for me. It seems though that 1500 shots is nothing, 15000 shots would be nothing as well, it's a .22lr and those should be hard to wear out.
What do you guys think, fair price, look okay, etc?
