Advice on Colt prices

[Old Fuff]

Now that you have cleaned it up you can protect the remaining nickel finish by giving the gun a coat or two of Johnson's paste wax (found at most supermarkets), or use one of the better automobile paste waxes, such as Mothers. Be sure the formula includes carnauba as a component, and avoid anything with abrasives in it.

Why wax? Because it feels dry to the touch, has no solvents that might attack the plating, and gives better protection then oils or greases. It's also great on the black anodized Cobra. Won't hurt wood either. You do need a soft toothbrush to get the wax residue out of tight places, screw slots, checkering, etc.

Tex, that Lawman is absolutly amazing!!! I dont know why it hit me like this, but its just gorgeous!! That will be my next one!! Although, I've never seen one for sale in person. That is one beautiful gun.

BTW it looks like its in MUCH better shape than my DS.

Thanks for the tip Fuff!! I'll do it now! Kevin.

Thanks Kevin. Glad you like the Lawman. Being a 357 mag, it's a ton of fun to shoot. Since it's on the same frame as the Trooper, it has enough weight to tame the recoil, but with hot loads it'll throw quite a fireball. You gotta get you one

Yea Tex, if you were in cantral Florida, we'd be going shooting this afternoon, and you'd be bringing the Lawman!! If I had to buy one right now, it would definately be a Lawman just like yours. But the problem is, you never know what you going to find. I never thought of having a Python until Thursday afternoon. when I went to look at the DS. Only then did I realize this was my chance to have one at a decent price. So really, I cant say the Lawman will be my next Colt, when the next one I see might be an Agent. So anyway, when I see one, Ill get it. I want it to be the 2.25 barrel version, and I guess it could be either blued or nickel. What year is yours? Kevin.

My Lawman was made in 1975.

The Colt Agent is on my list too. I already have a Cobra, and the Detective Special is next. Maybe one of the late production parkerized Agents will come after that.

According to proofhouse, Colt didnt make the Lawman very long. It may prove to be a hard find

Always remember that the only difference between a Cobra and Agent is the stocks, provided the Cobra has the short-butt frame where the wood wraps around the bottom. If you have one revolver, two sets of stocks, and a screwdriver, you have in effect both guns. This is a good solution until the right Agent comes along.
