Like most gun makers Colt only sells direct to big gun distributors.
What that price is, is a trade secret and it seems to be pretty close held.
Then there's the price a distributor charges a local FFL Dealer.
That seems to vary from distributor to distributor, AND on how big a customer the FFL Dealer is.
A small mom and pop store won't get the price a huge seller like one of the big chain stores will that buys in bulk.
So, price varies.
As example a few years ago I talked to a FFL Dealer who owned a local medium size gun store who was complaining that Walmart was selling shotguns cheaper then he could buy them.

I don't know anything about wholesale, but I just paid $1,500 out the door for the 4".That was the best anyone here in central Pa. would do. I could not afford to purchase an original !!
Was that at Grice?

I don’t know the wholesale price, but $1499 seems to be pretty common everywhere, maybe an occasional $1450 (but rare).
I just had a flyer sent to me from CDNN out of Abilene, Texas. They had them on sale for $1399. I have purchased quite a bit from them over the years. They are reputable.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to know?? You and I cannot buy one at wholesale price, unless you know a wholesaler who's willing to pass one on at his cost, no profit???? (and if so, DO tell me in PM,
)You could call up Colt and tell them you want 500 or 1,000 and ask what kind of unit price they'd give you. Though you might need to be a licensed dealer to get a quote, since, obviously you intend to "engage in the business" with an order for 500 or more pistols....
