WS23:
1)I do appreciate your advice, very much(And, of the other Forum members)!
2)Well, I do appreciate special and "Unique" things(Including guns)! I have only begun to try to collect a few good Colt revolvers. And, I admit, that I wasn't sure if the Colt Viper would be a good Colt to collect? So far, I have only obtained 1)A .22 Cal, Diamondback(Four-inch), 2)A four inch Model "357", 3)An Officer's Model Special! I thought that the "Pristine" Viper, could be a nice colt to add to this small Colt collection, next? However, although I knew of this gun, up until now, I hadn't really researched this gun-and, I really was depending upon this Forum, to give me some proper "Insight" about the Viper? I took the liberty, of having the Gun Shop, that has this Viper, to put a "Hold" on it, until this coming Saturday! I had hoped that I would have received plenty of input by then, to aid me in making the right choice, about collecting this Viper? It opened my eyes, when I learned from this Forum, that the Viper, was made less than one year, in 1977! This is a very good thing to be taken into consideration!
3)I wasn't really wanting to possibly buy this Viper, only from a "Profit" standpoint-but, It would sure be nice, should the time come that I wanted to sell it, that a profit(Rather than a loss!)could be made! I do like the Viper-as it is sort of different-and, is not a Colt that is commonly found(At least, I have never found one-until now!)!
4)Since I'm still interested in learning anything else, that might be known about the Viper-I'd appreciate it very much, if anyone can offer any other input, about this gun? I only have a few more days, to learn as much as I can, which will aid me greatly, in making a decision to buy(Or, to not buy)this Viper? This is a wonderful Forum and, it's very helpful, to gain knowledge about Colt's from the various knowledgeable(And, experienced!)Colt Forum Members!
