I'm looking at the prelock model only.

I've seen several of the 2 1/2" 686 7 shot models for sale, and they claim they are scarce, hard to find etc. How scarce are they really, and will the value continue to Increase based on this fact.? It seems alot of sellers out there are claiming "scarce", but are they really?

I have acquired a 1954 Colt det spl with stag grips, that appears to be stainless steel. I have many SS handguns, and the finish is identical to these, although don't think Colt put them out in SS. How can I find out how this gun left the factory to be sure of what I've got? Thanks for any help.

Picked up a beautiful 2 1/2" Ruger Alaskan. It has a nickel finish, and I didn't realize Ruger nickeled these guns...thought they were all SS. Are there any distinguishing marks on the gun to show factory nickeling like S&W with the "N"?

Can anyone verify that the trigger for the sig Sauer P238 also fits the kimber micro 9? I'm wanting to replace my micro 9 trigger with a skeletons trigger. I thought that I had heard that the triggers are the same.

What SD ammo would you all recommend for the Kimber Micro 9? Is there a load this gun prefers?

Thanks. Ill check it out.

Anybody know where I can find a skeletonized trigger for the Kimber Micro 9mm.?

Did Ruger ever produce a limited run of a 3" version of the red hawk?

Based on ergonomics-quality -value and price--what would you choose between the Beretta 96 and the Sig 2022 in 40 SW?

Thanks for the comments. If I do pick it up I'll probably conceal carry it as well since I have good leather for it.

Thanks for your insights. Definitely things to consider when looking at these models. As for BSA1's question about the Texas Ranger set, I have already sold it. There was no real attachment to it just wondering why the local shops viewed it the way they did---now I have an understanding as to why.

What is your guys take on the commemorative guns regarding resale? My local gun shops tell me they are slow movers on resale but I for one don't fully understand why. I had a nearly NIB Texas Ranger set with the knife in a presentation case and I was told it would be "dead inventory" for awhile...

Ok--- I have a craving for a snubby 44 and am looking at a Kodiak backpacker. I will carry it when hiking in Texas and Colorado. Is there anyone out there that will talk me out of this model?

Appreciate the replies. Ill keep them "mild".
