Okay, I will go ahead and say it. Any unmolested pinned and recessed S&W revolver with original grips in any kind of half-decent shape is worth $400.

I'm not a big fan of stainless, but defects in blued finishes are nearly impossible to hide or fix. The stainless finish, on the other hand, is far more durable and forgiving.

I have an M-66 and it's one of my favorites. If it's in decent shape it's hard to go wrong with and it's hard not to love.
