While looking at modern Colt revolvers on GunsAmerica.com with my new 2006 Blue Book of Gun Values, I'm finding myself scratching my head. I'm looking at various 22s (mainly Diamondbacks) and checking out some other prices in the guide to get familiar with grading and how used revolver pricing works.
Well, the surprise of surprises is that it doesn't seem to work all that well. Most of the Colt revolvers are priced well beyond what the Blue Book suggests.
I've heard some of you say this is the case with Pythons, but is it also true of other Colt's as well? And, what gives? Book can't keep up with the quick changes? Guns America guns are that much better? If I'm really interested in obtaining a Colt, what's the best way to know the deal is fair?
