glad you didn't see this S&W before I bought it.... ( I think I got a great deal on this one, since my builder buddy offered me twice what I paid for it after he inspected it for me )... I was going to re-nickel if it needed it, but I think it's nice enough I better leave it alone... but am thinking about a set of replica grips & shooting this one, as the action is really nice & solid... it's in 38 S&W
