So. I've already got a Stoeger Uplander on layaway. It's almost paid off and I was in to put most of the remainder down on it. Unfortunately as I stood at the counter waiting, I looked down and saw an old Colt double action sitting there. I glanced at the tag - Colt .357 Magnum. $299. 
The bluing is fairly heavily worn (maybe 60-70% left? I'm not good at telling that) and there are Pachmayr grips in place of whatever Colt shipped. But it locks up tight & times right, the barrel is good and the trigger is oh so typically Colt 2 stage
It's actually got "Colt .357 Magnum" on the barrel. IIRC that was the model prior to the Trooper? I once had a Trooper MkIII and this is reminiscent of it. SN is 15xxx.
To make a long story short, I still own the same amount on that Stoeger but also have a Colt on layaway. It'll be a nice piece to carry while hunting. I think I did alright.
