You are a bad human being
Book of tears on my Lawman. A friend still has it along with my 3" Python......Those grips are indeed hideous. I normally hate rubber grips of any kind, but this is one time I found the Colt rubbers to be superior. When compared to the old Colt action I never had much use for the MkIII's and V's. I can't believe what they're going for now. However, I always had a hankering for a Lawman. I thought they were cool beans. Not mine, but I wish it was.
Grips....Colt grips don't fit me...period. I just found some cool black walnut Altamonts done for Colt. Be here Tues.
Thank You....

I filed and sanded on several set of Colt wood grips way back when. It improved them quite a bit. Gun shops often had several sets of factory Smith and Colt grips in a box for $15 or $20 a set. Wasn't a big deal to carve them up to suite.Book of tears on my Lawman. A friend still has it along with my 3" Python......

3" Python?! What, did he slip you roofies or something?

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Here are two guesses:Traded a Beretta 92 for a 6" Colt Trooper Mk V. Now why would I get one of these....
1. Because you wanted to trade a semi whose DA trigger tends to stack for a revolver whose trigger tends to stack?
2. Because you immediately doubled your money? (At least where I live that Trooper would command almost twice the Beretta's price. Lots of used Beretta 92's here--very few Colts).
If we were able to convert the collective envy of P-F for your revolver collection into mechanical energy, we could power a turbine that would provide enough electricity for a small city.
Thank You....
I thought I was a genius. Bought the gun and made $300 in one day.......thing is NIB and letters.....likely worth 10-12,000 now...I wasn't as smart as I thought.
Kind of funny. The trigger pull on the Colt is heavy but smooth. It is a shorter action and at least uses parts that can get worked on. It could have a great trigger. I ll post a picture later this afternoon at my real motivation for getting that particular Colt (although Lt. Castillo did play a bit of motivation).
Many places are different on what sells. The Colt in some places would bring $1500 plus. In others.....cannot give it away. My best revolver buys tend to be in store's where Serpa's, Springfield XD's and Zombie targets and Frankenstein AR's are the norm. As soon as I see a counter guy with an XD in a Fobus...I am scouring the used revolvers. Other places like a Jackson Armory and some of the other places with an older and more affluent clientele will get better money for investment grade stuff or more obscure guns, while a run of the mill Springfield XD will sit.

Same here. The only revolvers that don't move around here are clapped out or Taurus, but I repeat myself.

I'd bet (but not much) I know where you got that.
Laughed so loud I scared the dog!
For Colt revolvers, my weak spot is the 4" original Trooper. Prefer the looks of them over the Python even, and I have a 4" 1970's era Python.
