Daniel,
I have one too, along with an IZH-35. The S&W is a great, simple,
reliable little plinker, and I like mine a lot. $150 is a fair price
for the gun. I find it is very accurate for slow fire, and I really
quite like its sights. Because the front end of it is so light it is
somewhat less accurate for timed and rapid fire. One major benefit of
the S&W is that it has the mounting rail built into the barrel. The
issue with it being too light might be easily resolved by adding a red
dot to the front.

If you buy it, buy a set of grips too, the ones that come with it SUCK!!!!

Hope it works out,
Dan
