Passed up on a S&W 78G Last Sat

Mistake?
Local G.S. find, and early model with adj trigger and 2 power levels, nice clean shape; fair price at $200 I thought.
They were actually made by S&W, metal, and closely matched the 7.5" Mdl 41 22LR weight, balance and feel in a CO2 package in 22 cal. WHAT a diff in construction, fit and finish from the stuff made now!
Ive never had a CO2 pistol and almost talked myself into it.....but sold my two Crosmans (1377 & 1322) and had decided to stick with SSP's.
Checking online it looks like 20-25 good velo shots per CO2 cart and a bit over 300fps in 22 so a plinker and target practice piece at best?
Seems it ran below my radar all these years, anybody have one?
 
10-15 years ago, these were cheap and they were all over the place for sale, now the adjustable trigger models were a much harder find
and now people want 150.00 to 300.00 for them, was 200.00 a great deal, yes and no if it had a fresh rebuild in it maybe if not, maybe not
so, after looking on Ebay that price was okay you should have bought it
