Looka like the sellers 2.5" Diamondback 22 is getting a lot of attention too. Both the Bankers and the Diamondback would certainly be keepers. Good luck to the bidders.

Erik. Not a problem my friend. I am sure it will get lots of attention. I seem to be a sucker for these little Bankers .22's. Have a great Christmas.

Yeah me too. I really wish I had bought one I saw three years ago that had been Fitzed. It wasn't factory Fitzing but it was really well done and looked factory. I thought $900 was too much for it. I really should have bought it just so I could have some example of a .22 bankers.

Wow, how many Fugates are there? Steve, Matt...isn't there a John too?
Is this thing going to go over $3000? Seems high even for a Bankers .22. People are crazy.

People always ask why people wait until after they buy something to ask questions, here is a prime example. If you post something people go searching and the next thing you know you have more competition for it than you had originally. This is not meant as offense to anyone in this fray people want what they want, but I would rather buy something for a little more than it is worth than lose it altogether, at least if it is a "must have".

I traded for mine about 2 years ago at $2600. The only one I had seen, in person, for years.

They look like it, don't they? I hope my wife doesn't see that picture. It is just some dust that I got on the gun before shooting the pictures. The gun is in about 95% condition.

This will never happen, but of all of the Colt's made this is the one I wish Colt would bring back. Even if in just a limited run. I would buy one so fast it would make your head spin.
People have to be getting tired of the same old thing with modern handguns. Time to go retro.

CJS57, thanks for the clarification. That picture of mine was pretty dusty and it looked like rust, also. The pictures of the one for sale are pretty poor quality, but serious bidders can get better pictures, I guess.

I got a notice I was outbid with a few minutes left....but I was sitting in the front row with my wife and 3 sons at the 49ers--Cardinals game in Phoenix with less that 2 minutes to go, going to a photo finish...so I let it go to one of the nicest guys on our forum.
Enjoy it! But I may not be so weak on the next one that comes up! I do not have one of those yet and I have a project to create a full TDP on one and spec out the complete CNC programming and development costs to reproduce it exactly.....so I can put it on two CEO's desks.
