Never would own one, Too many good guns out there that are not very expensive.
I've seen Bud's Guns have "police trade in"(usually security agencies these days, but that's a good catch-all) 3rd gen S&Ws along with model 10s/64s at around $200. Sometimes the nicer ones, along with Beretta 92s, go up to $250 or $300. I need to pick up a 3rd gen before they go too nuts in price-I'm not a big semi-auto guy in general, but I'd rather have a 3rd gen S&W or Beretta 92 than a Glock or other striker-fired polymer gun.
In any case, if you go into the store I've seen the quite literally hanging from pegs on the wall, and they'll let you pick what you want.
Along those same lines, several years ago I paid like $175 for a Model 64 that was I think either an armored guard or prison gun. I think it's from the early 90s-it's not pinned(so post 82) but has a hammer mounted firing pin and no lock(those came in the late 90s). The gun LOOKS terrible-it came with Goncalo Alves Magnas(I think I still have them kicking around) that actually were missing the checkering on one side and didn't even come down to the butt on that side apparently from rubbing up against someone's waist/belly and also has bunches of "dimples", scratches, and other issues on the side plate that look like 20+ years of a key ring banging against it. None the less, I doubt it had been shot 100 times before I bought it, and I have zero concerns about it ever shooting or causing any issues.
