I assume the reason for the good price on these is that Bud's gets a large batch and wants to turn them over quickly. That and the fact that, with the whole back stock of a police department, condition is going to vary. You pays your money, you takes your chances. I waited a good while after the batch was advertised to order one, and was afraid (not because of anything about Bud's, just because it happens online) that they sold the best ones first to get good reviews and I'd get one in a lesser condition.
Not the case at all, and I was thouroughly pleased when it arrived. Mine was a 10-10 manufactued in 1994 or 1995, with the heavy barrel. Condition was more like 90 percent on the blueing - really the only noticeable bluing loss was on the crown of the barrel and some rubs on the top of the frame. hardly noticeable. For some reason the wood grips were pretty beat up, but they're classics and give the revolver character, so I'm not going to change them. Took it to the range and put about 200 rounds through it, checking all mechanical functions every dozen rounds or so. No problems. Am used to a longer-barrel single-action Ruger, so the trigger pull took some getting used to - but that's me, not the gun! Wouldn't hesitate to order a police trade-in in the future.
