It is in excellent condition. I have to use a revolver in a bunch of drills with Mas, I've been using a K Frame and a J Frame and I've gotten fairly proficient but I have a real fondness for Colts. Is the D-Back serviceable for using a lot?
The D'back is a deluxe grade revolver. The only problem is that since Colt quite making them collectors have driven the price for one to insane levels.

Then there's Dan Wesson, their ad would show the shooter's thumb cooked to a perfect medium rareIn their pre-war advertising Colt pointed out that if one placed the tip of their thumb against the thumbpiece of a S&W when they fired, recoil pushing the gun backwards would cause the cylinder to be unlatched for a fraction of a second - and they had high-speed/x-ray movie footage to prove it.
This couldn't happen with the Colt design, where the latch was pulled backwards to release the cylinder.
Take this for whatever it's worth...
