I just picked up a S&W Model 19-2 at the LGS. I wasn't looking to buy anything; really shouldn't have bought anything. I have too many already, shouldn't spend the money, etc.. The price seemed too good to pass up.
In the non-original box with the gun was the original receipt from 1968, $137. My son was laughing about how cheap guns were way back when, so I brought up an inflation calculator online.
I asked how much he thought the equivalent of that would be, in 2022 dollars. We were both a little surprised to see $1150! It looks like I got a heckuva deal for $400.
The target grips were mine already. It came with some "vintage" Pachmayr grips. I know a lot of people like them, but they're not my cup of tea at all, and I always get rid of them as quick as I can.
