Thanks for the advice. I'm starting to get a better idea of what I'm looking for. What I'm discovering is that a well used classic doesn't cost much more (or maybe even less) than something like a 311. Which is something that I didn't realize. I'm mostly a lurker here and I'm always impressed with the amount of knowledge and passion that some here have for these guns. And I've come to realize that the word "clunker" means different things to different people and I hereby strike it from my vocabulary! (I have a feeling that I'm going to end up with something nicer than what I say I'm looking for).
