This piece fell into my lap this afternoon while I was loafing in my LGS:
A coworker and I were standing at the counter shooting the breeze
a young counter man brought it down and told us "this just came in".
My coworker looked at it and handed it the me, I looked it over real hard and handed it back to him and asked "whaddaya think"
He made a few positive comments while giving it another look and he handed it back to me and I asked him "do you want it"? He looked over at me kinda funny and I said, " you looked at it first, if you want it I'll withdraw, but if you don't, I'm buying it".
He asked to see it again, and fondled it a little more and he said "nah, you'll appreciate it more than me, at least you'll shoot it".
It came home with me for $550.00 OTD (no box, no papers).
It's extremely clean, fired but not a lot, the stocks are in perfect condition, there's a "bad spot" in the bluing to the bottom left of the Colt emblem but other than that, there's not a scratch on it.
Colts nowadays are a little pricey but I feel that I got this one for a fair price.
It's certainly large for a "snub nosed" handgun but I've been looking for one (at a fair price) for several years and I figured if I let it sit and the LGS for too long (at that price) it would be gone fairly quick.
