We're talking Classic revolvers. Colt, S-W, Manchurian. Maybe something else. I bought a Colt Python over on the west side for $400. I asked the guy why he was selling it, and he said, you let things go.
It was the most phenomenal pistol I've ever owned. OK-Story; I don't put guns on the shelf. I took the pistol out for a foray with a buddy from work. He had a black powder rifle that he showed me how to fire. In some break time I noticed a can up on the side of the hill. I drew the Python and in a second or so nailed the can. It was about fifty yrs. Good shooting he said. Yup I said. But I could do that on occasion when I was younger. Markets go up and down. Three thousand doesn't seem all that crazy these days. So, if you can find a Manchurin for 2 it might be a deal. Colt isn't the best revolver ever made according to my gunsmith buddy.

A S&W Registered .357 Magnum from 1937.
.357 is a loud round. As I get older, I don't like the blast or noise. .38 is fun. If push comes to shove I guess I'd fire a .357, (the aquivelant is on hand) but I'd sue for the hearing damage. Good photo.
