You used to be able to buy those all day for $260. Before that it was $200.

I went back to the gun show today armed with my blue book of gun values. I was prepared to offer the guy blue book price for a 90 percent gun, which is $450....

I found them on the net in very good condition, with matching numbers on frame, slide and barrel for $300. I can get it on my C&R license for $12 shipping. ...
