There are two Colt DS revolvers that have remained on the shelf in the LGS. One is a 3rd gen DS in about 85% condition, and the other is a stainless DS II in about 95% condition. Both are still priced at $700. What is a fair price for these two, and which would you battle for?

I would go for the "3rd gen DS.Based upon your assessment of condition, I would offer them $450 out the door. The DSII I wouldn't be interested in unless I could get it for $450 also. I never liked the new action on the DSII. I wasn't as smooth and it seemed cheap to me ( compared to the original action DS).

Thanks for the thoughts. I will visit the LGS again tomorrow. I [regretfully, as many have said] traded a DS for a Magnum Carry about 13 years ago, but I still have the holster that 1st DS came in.
