Buddy is going to bring over a S&W 34-1 22lr revolver short barrel maybe 2" couple scratchs what's a good price? ANything to look for on it. Thanks Jerrad

If in good shape w/ original grips,anywhere under $475. Really nice ones can bring quite a bit more.

cock it and push on the hammer trying to make it fall without pulling the trigger. this would indicate poor trigger work and/or worn out mechanism.

look for strike marks on the cylinder face between the cylinders. this would indicate either out of time or somebody pulling the trigger faster than the cylinder could spin.

check for cylinder movement when closed. some is ok, but shouldn't be much.

a decent 2" 34-1 is 5-ish retail.

Thanks for the response. Is there anything that makes one worth more than the others. No box I know on this one

Condition

I gave $400 for this one a couple of weeks ago. A fairly high condition piece.

Got the gun tonight looks really clean. One smudge on the cylinder. Really doesn't appear to been shot a whole lot. The front sight on top of the sight was painted with sight paint? Along with white on rear sight which came off really easy. Also had a set of Pachmeyer grips as well as originals.

I hope I never have to sell mine. Got it from a friend's estate with a homemade holster. It's about the handiest thing ever.

Post up some pics.

In trying to decide to keep it for myself or sell it for him. It is a handy little thing
