Cool, I'm deciding between building my own and buying an assembled upper, and I plan to check between the archived threads here.

Here is one that sold on GunBroker for $300 add up the shipping and FFL fees and that's another $50-60.

The M12 is not an everyday shooter and can't take the punishment of heavy loads. I recommend 148 grain wadcutters, records have proved that wadcutters work as SD loads, not only are they easy on the gun but the shooter as well and the soft lead bullet deforms nicely without overpenetration.

One thing to think about is the frame on a M12-2 is thinner than a regular K frame. Should you want to put wood K frame grips on your gun they won't fit. They did this back in the day to cut down on weight.

Thanks for the advice, I never made it back there yesterday and hope I have time today. If the 12-2 is in as good of condition as it looks it sounds like a pretty good deal, if not I'll spend the extra few dollars for a new Taurus. I have to check around some more anyway and still haven't checked out the local LEO dealers.
