Very soft indeed. A friend just picked up a SS SP101 like new, in the box with the papers, for $400. He had his choice of 2 of them both listed on a local forums. He picked the one closest to him and got her done. I know I would not part with either of mine for $400. Another seller has a SS 2 3/4" Security Six posted for $550. It has over 3000 looks and not a single response. Of course I figure 1/2 of those are guys like me checking back to see if the seller gets a clue and comes down on the price. :lol:
