Although there were a lot of them, they are remarkably hard to come by. I think those who have them, know they have a great gun and aren't all that likely to give them up. If you have to resort to an online source like Gunbroker to get one, you'll pay near top dollar. Otherwise, you'll just have to stash some cash in a special place in your wallet and cruise the pawn shops for the next year to get the right gun for the right price.
I think they're a nearly ideal defensive revolver.
Me too, especially stoked with the FBI load .38 Special.
