Yes, I am known more for buying double actions, but I really couldn't pass this one up. I think I paid a fair price ($400) and I will need to replace the grips. What do y'all think? (I really like the plum color, s/n makes it a 1969)

Good catch Ron ..... I'm a hard core double action guy too BUT ...... don't think you can go wrong buying OM single actions at $500.00 and less. I'm gambling that they'll always be worth at least when I paid for them!

It's the light, it is actually turning that plum color.
Very nice. I don't ever see any of the plum colored guns locally, I like them though, good find.

Looks nice but the grips have to go!
Congrats on a nice find.

Yes, the grips will definitely be replaced with the correct grips once I receive it.
I'd shoot it with those grips just for the sake of it, before you swap them out.
They look.....wrong....but comfortable.

That's a sweet old 357! Good buy too.

Ron,,, your DA's will feel snubbed. You need to plan on having it move to a wee bit warmer climate a bit south of you.
At $400 ya done real good!
Congrats.
