I'd be a happy person to find a $350 shooter. I hear tell of these beasts, but I've yet to see one in my neck of the woods ! I know bargains exist out there, but they're not as common as they used to be. I'd have to agree with Edward that it's not common to find much under $500.

As to the grip question; I buy shooter grade guns as I can't afford collector prices. I still appreciate originality, and to me grips play a part in the character and patina of a gun. Modern repros just don't match the character of an older worn gun.
