I wouldn't think they'd be particularly rare. The FBI used them for years after they deep-sixed the more expensive 3" model 27. This was the gun that they used their famed "FBI Load", .38 Spec. LRNHP in. Anyway, I dunno about the stainless, but the 13 was extensively used by them. See Silence of the Lambs.
Yeah, I know it was the FBI gun, and that this is the gun they carried the FBI load in. I also know about it (the Model 13) being Agent Starling's gun. That was a great scene, by the way, wasn't it, i.e., when she was in the pitch black basement dungeon?
