I'm planning on setting some money aside for the day that I run across a deal on a used 3" or 4" pre-lock .357.
The number and variations of S&W revolvers is mind-boggling, so it seems that I'll have to do a lot of homework. Once I know what I'm looking at, its condition, and going through Jim March's "workout" stickied above, I'm left with a question.
What models do you guys tend to find deals on? I understand some models (27, for example) is afflicted with a sort of "collector's premium". Are there any specific models that were made in much larger numbers, and are more likely to serve as an affordable working gun?
Even on gunbroker, "Buy It Now" prices often vary drastically. Nevertheless, it looks like M28s can be had for decent prices. I'm wondering if there are other models to keep an eye out for.
