Mine is a mid 60's production before the shrouded extractor. I've never had any issues with it snagging on anything!
Detect Specials have gotten pricy from the days of old..... Most of them seem to sit in the $500 - $600 range. Not sure about the air weights. Lawman (357) snubbies are a little pricier at round $600 to $800 and Python's bringing in about $1700+. It's also noteworthy to add that the Lawman snub had unique grips. The 4 inch and bigger were a square butt don't interchange nor to the grips for any other models.

Keep it. The ammo will come. I thought about trading mine up for a 9mm, but I know I'de be kicking myself for letting it go.

Edumacate me on this model - its vintage, era made, etc.
I inherited one that is very similar and know nothing about it.

I'm no S&W expert but Model 10's and before that what they were known as was Military and police have a long long history.
Posting part of the serial # found on the butt of the gun will narrow it down for you include any letter before it as that is part of the serial number
example C 265XXX

have a 4in barrel just like it, S 814xxx
ETA given that this is an S serial number and not a C serial number, looks like I have a different model. Research ensues.
