Colt prices

[kwbikr]

Love to hear opinions on the current state of Colt prices compared to other brands these days...seems to have spiked in the past 6 months, do you expect it to continue going north?

What kind of Colts? We've got a variety of Colt 1911s in the shop at the moment, and they are priced competitively with equivalent Kimber and Springfield models.

I'm talking mostly about revolvers, particularly older Python, Diamondback, Detective Spl, etc...

There is a rise in the amount of interest in Colt revolvers as well as in pre-lock S&W's. If someone told me last year that a 2" model 10-5 would be bring $400 + I would have laughed at them. People who don't normally buy guns are buying them and many want the simplicity of the revolver.

they have gone up i paid 1200 out the door at cabelas for my python if you want any of the colt snake guns dont expect to pay less than a grand on one even in used condition ive seen the stainless pythons go for 3000 and 4000 at gunshows. diamondbacks are all ive seen is prices of 1300 and 1500 dollars but yes i love my python i wish i had a time machine to go back to the 90's to get a couple of them cheap lol. and as far as quality ill never get rid of my python the only thing i want to do with it is get a set of authentic wood grips for it

It's all relative..... In the 1902 the Sears catalog advertised Colt Single Action Army Revolvers for a $20.00..... You can still buy them at that price provided you are willing to pay in the currency of 1902..... A twenty dollar gold piece!

I wonder what happened to our money?

That a huge increase, guess I'll look for a deal.

Look at the older K Frame Smiths.

I just grabbed a python and paid a premium, but as some smart man on INGO said, "It's not like they are falling out of the sky..."

If you check history, A colt SAA has been worth about 1 oz of gold. The price is the same, your money is just worth less...... and less.

Hmmmm..... Might have to let loose of s few Colts if the money is that good.







But probably won't.....

If you are looking for a colt revolver as a shooter detective special and trooper and trooper II"s are still to be had at semi normal prices save 500-800 each more or less. These wer not hand fitted pieces but are still above most other makers standards for fit finsish and the very important thing of snubbies double action trigger pull.

Pythons, and diamondbacks were hand fitted by master craftsmen and can go 999 - 4000 depending on rarity condition, paperwork and box type/age. Some people even collect them according to which craftsman signed the box believe it or not and will pay dearly for the same name or names they are looking for.

I saw a stainless 4" King Cobra at the last 1500 that the dealer had a $1200 price tag on

That's how the party of "Read my lips, NO NEW TAXES!" taxes you.

I'm waiting too.

I'd like to have some more but not at the prices they are going now. If you look hard enough you'll find some great deals............eventually

How about a Special Combat Government Carry 1911? I've had my eye on one of those for some time now.

I have a couple friends that ask me every few months about my Pythons, Troopers and Detective Specials. A certain Monkey keeps buggin me about a GI 1911 too! Man, my friends want to pick my bones and I'm not even dead yet!
