Take a look just to see a nice prewar Colt SAA. Go to upper left click new arrivals, then click on thumb pic. It's color tuned wrong on my computer, but if you have to reset color it has beautiful blue remaining.

This .41? Doesn't seem that exceptional or maybe I am looking at the wrong gun.

Try this pic setting and the original blue comes up. It is not a brown patina as it comes out without tuning. Maybe it's just me, but I like an original, well used, not obused Colt SAA. )ne with nice screw heads and no mods.

That gun won't bring anywhere near what he is wanting for it in my area, but the truth is that decent guns with no problems and some finish on them are getting harder to find now a days. Collectors have grabbed the good ones and they hold on unto them and about all you see trading around are those a little to a whole lot below par.

Think about how many refinished, rebarreled, re-sighted, altered single actions that are pictured on this forum and how seldom a "no problems" single action is pictured.

Thanks. That is my point exactly! No it's not worth the asking price. Yes it is a pretty nice original condition revolver.

Like this one, granted that his is a nice 41 and mine is a 32WCF, still, I paid half what he is asking!

Swamprat, yours is a better gun yet...as always you have some reeally good ones. But how long ago did you buy it? the way prices move up and all.

Perhaps a little abused; looks like the trigger is too far forward, probably some trigger or hammer issues.

Best regards,

Bought here on the Forum last July for $3400.

The gun on Salter's site is nice, but not $6000 nice. Half that would be pushing it IMO, being a .41 and all. However, with prices that keep going up, it might be priced as cheap as it's gonna get, for the foreseeable future anyway.

 

[Merwin2]

Yeah, old Joe gets some mighty steep prices, but he does bargain down when a gun lays there awhile. Most of his Colts, mostly DA's turn in about an hour, and I think they ALL are too high, but I like to look. I once over paid him for a 1921-1922 S&W 1905 M&P 4th change. It's a 6" nickle with more rare square butt and super nice grips. Looks almost unfired, only a light turn line. I had to have it and I haven't seen one as nice since. Won't lose on it when the time comes, I guess.

Maybe its in the first notch? That's about right by looking at my Colt clone in that position. Joe knows his guns and does not sell screwed up pieces.

I've been out of it a few years, but am getting back into Colts. Two things I see, the grip frame above the triggerguard plate seems to have a pretty large crack where it fits to the frame. Notice how tight the fit is at the rear, but not at the triggerguard.

Also, all his prices seem high, but again I've been out of it a while. I do see better prices at the local gun shops.

Maybe, but to me it looks like the hammer is all the way down on the frame. It would make me a little nervous, particularly at that price point.

Best regards,

I think that Joe Salter asks too much for just about everything he lists. His statement, "We try to keep our prices fair and reasonable" always kills me.
