Whats a Colt Lawman MK 3 worth?

[Checkman]

Picked up this Lawman Mk III almost three years ago. It was priced at $500.00 at the time. $425.00 is a very good price for the Lawman snubbie. Colt kept very spotty records when it came to exactly how many variations of a particular model were manufactured. As a result it isn't known how many Mk III snubbies were manufactured. They aren't as common and therefore are in greater demand.

That is one fine looking Lawman MK.III you have there! Always wanted one but couldn't see much use for it as a CCW because of its size and weight.

Thanks bannockburn. I traded a Luger for it and I haven't regretted that trade once. I didn't pick it up for CCW. I like Colt revolvers - both the Mk III and pre- Mk III models-and I like the .357 magnum snubbies. I don't care about the arguments that the .357 magnum is no more effective than a 38 out of a short barrel because I don't use them for the real world. However for the what if question I fire 38 +P through them.

I just like the look of the snubbie. A compact chunky little beast. Cool.

Well, I forgot to update this. I had gone back the next day and what do you know? Someone already bought it. Can't blame them. It was a beauty. First come, First serve.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for another one.

That's too bad. Seems to be how it goes with a lot of the Colts. Especially if they're in pretty good shape and in the more popular calibers. Another reason why I have gotten so fond of the .38 Spl revolvers They don't seem to move as fast. Well usually. Well good luck with your search. Sometimes that almost as much fun as actually finding and buying.
