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.

You passed on a Colt Shooting Master 357 wt King Sights...first was it just the sights or was it the KST conversion. Either way you made a BIG MISTAKE which amounts to pushing yourself down the stairs in the annals of bright things to do.
The 44spl and 45 LC in CSM is gona cost ya...NORTH OF $3500 EACH..way North..The 45 ACP in CSM is the tough one..and is going to cost a corresponding amount of dinero.
Contrary to popular belief Colt OM's and DA's in general have moved up in value VERY SLOWLY at a virtual snails pace. While the actions, fit and finish is extraordinary there just doesn't seem to be much demand. The exception on the Colt DA front are the Big New Service Frames especially the NS TGTs and SM's.
