Congrats. A great gun.
I went down to my gun dealer's yesterday to pick up a German 1907 Dreyse I bought on GB. While I was doing the transfer, he mentions that he just got in a nice Colt OP. Seeing's how I don't have one, I became interested. Well, I couldn't bring it home without doing a multiple gun purchase form, so it has to wait 5 business days to come home to me. Looks like it is in pretty good shape!
So now I have 4 Colt revolvers.![]()

Congrats. A great gun.
Colt OP: Easy on the eye, great in the hand. Nice find, enjoy.
Nice gun Terry but ...um....there is no 5 day wait in Texas on multiple gun purchases with revolvers. I just talked to my FFL buddy to confirm. AR's yes and semi-auto's with detachable magazines. The dealer needs to fill out this "multiple firearm purchase form" if one was to buy 2 or more of the noted weapons within a 5 day period. Your OP isn't affectedHappy Dayz bud.

nice gun ,the nice thing about the official police is that they will not kill your bank account to buy em, and that dreyse
strange little gun, great quality,but strange.
Sweet gun... my OP is one of the finest shooting revolvers I own.. It is just about perfect... Enjoy!
Thanks Jeff! That's what I'm talking about, the multiple gun purchase form. I don't want to do that. Wait 5 days and no form.Gives me time to acquire some more money, too. Seems like I've been spending a lot lately!
Oh yeah, yesterday was my birthday, so I told the wife I need a birthday present.
Speaking of birthdays, I tried to remember the SN, but just remember 8xxxxx. So I guess it's between 1950 &1965.

Great gun, Terry!
Here's wishing you a healthy and Happy Birthday, from one old dog to another!

Nice one.
Brought home a '61/'62 OP today. Police trade-in, sat at the SLCPD un-issued & unfired till it was sold off as surplus recently.
$450, because of various minor storage nicks & an inventory number electro-pencilled on the right side of the frame at some point.
Wanted a shooter anyway, so I'm quite happy.
Your price is probably about right.
