$175 in today's dollars (+ $17 for every inch on the barrel) sounds like a sweet deal to me, or $210 for hamerless version.

Wait, how do they make it hammerless?

Hammerless was/is used to refer to revolvers without a exposed hammer to snag on things. Basically so you can take it out of you pocket faster. It would still technically have a hammer. Although other firearms designs use a striker mechanism instead of a traditional hammer.

Cool... so there is like a plate around the hammer mechanism?

Pretty much. They just built a box around it.
