I think that value is going to depend on model specifics. The 929 and 999 came in multiple versions and barrel lengths. More info is needed for an accurate assessment as Gunbroker does seem to have some vast price differences.

Thanks for the information. I did some more digging last night and this morning and seems they're not too bad for an inexpensive revolver. I bought the 999 which was made in 1982. I also saw that I made a mistake on the model of the other one. It is a 939 not a 929. Shows how bad my short term memory is..... He said he might hold on to it for a while anyway.

It's got a few rust spots here and there but nothing real bad. I bought it for a shooter so I just wiped them with 0000 steel wool and Hoppe's. It should do to shoot up the bits and pieces of boxes of .22's I have laying around. I might even hit the target if I stand close enough.

I had a mint 999 and was offered too much money to keep it.

Was a very good little gun though! Very unique and accurate-

 

They are a little different. I usually don't like cleaning a revolver, but this one is easier than some semi-auto's I've had. Just pop off the cylinder and clean the barrel from the breech end. And, the cylinder is a lot easier to work with when I have it in my hand. I shot about 200 rounds of partial boxes of ammo this afternoon, and it never missed a beat. Hard to tell about accuracy with such a Duke's Mixture of ammo some of which was at least 15 years old and had the gray, fuzzy bullets. I'll try some new ammo next trip, and measure some groups.

Don't dry fire them at all. Also they are very accurate with the right ammo. Mine is older and prefers standard velocity.

 

I love them they are great pistols.

 

I have a 926 and it is a good pistol.
