Do not forget the Astra Cadix. This is a good quality revolver and frequently available used in .22LR & .38 Special. They are somewhere around half the cost of a S&W. A .22 available now. I think the starting price is a little high. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/905550719

That Model 17 Heritage is one that slipped past a lot of folks, really nice with the Outdoorsman style barrel. It's one of those guns that I could not afford at the time but knew I would think about it and kick myself if I did not get it I have been wanting the 45 Colt in that Lew Horton line up as well.

I saw the blue version of the Heritage 17 when they first hit the shelves years ago and just never realized how rare they were. Too many things going on at the time. Same shop had the 15 in case hardened and the Micgivern Heritage..oh well. IIRC, they were all in the $800 to $900 range.

I picked up a model 63 last weekend at the LGS. Dirty as hell, sitting lonely in the used cabinet. I grabbed it along with a 1903 hand ejector .32 S&W Long. The 63 cleaned up beautifully, the 4” barrel is immaculate. This thing was shot (not too much but enough) never cleaned and then traded in. Only question is the grips. It came with Pachmyers, some original wood grips would class it up but the Pachmeyrs are just so damn comfortable. I am a very happy camper, looking forward to many outings of plinking with this classic.

You can still get into a Model 17 for a pretty good price. Here's a pic of my 17-3.

Several collectors are buying everything in sight and paying outrageous prices. They’ve got all the pawn shops thinking they can get $800 for junkers.

There's really only 1 or 2 gun or pawn shops here where I can get a decent deal once in a while right now.

My successes over the past couple of years, S&W or otherwise, have been on consignment pieces. I picked up a Ruger PC9 at a very fair price a couple of weeks ago.

I shouldn’t complain too much, an unfired Model 34 2” SB in nickel and the same in a 4” blue did get acquired a couple of years back for very reasonable prices.
