Prewar Colt revolvers are, quite simply, incredible. In over 35 years of buying, selling and collecting firearms I have never found any other maker that has built such generally fine products. Also, I have never seen a prewar Colt lose value. In fact, there is an old saying that goes something like: "If you want to make money collecting, buy Colt pistols (sic) or Ford automobiles. There's a lot of truth in those words! One revolver that I don't have (yet) is a Colt Target Master or Shooting Master in .44 special or .45 Long Colt. Think Officers Model Target built on a New Service size frame and you get the idea! I had the chance to pick up King Sight Shooting Master in .357 mag but really wanted one of the big bore models.
