I know we're not supposed to comment in the Marketplace, but let me throw a little S&W knowledge in here.

 

A) The 3" S&W's are some of the most desireable since they are short-barrelled enough to use as CCW's, but long enough to use as range guns. 3" is also the ideal length for those guns chambered in .357 Mag as the extra barrel length (as opposed to 2.5" guns) allows for a longer ejector rod, which allows the cases to completely clear the cylinder on the ejection stroke. (Not so with 2.5" guns - you have to rely on a hardy push on the ejection rod plus gravity, to clear the cylinder).

 

B) Seven round cylinders are the strongest. Because of the odd-number of chambers it locates the cylinder bolt stop notches between the chambers (where there is more metal) rather than right over the chambers - where the metal is at its thinnest.

 

This is a great very desireable piece at a fair price. If you think it's too high, no one is stopping you from making an offer - it's up to the seller whether or not to accept it.

 

To the OP: Good luck with your sale - very nice piece.

 

Adios,

I will keep the above post, because I do think it provides knowledge about the pistol.

 

But let's not turn this into a discussion thread..... not polite to the seller....

 

Thanks....... Carry on....
