SAA Gen2 .38 Special ($2400.. to much)

[Mark_Mark]

Here a 7.5” Gen 2 Colt SAA in .38 special. Feels like it’s barely shot. Very heavy hammer. In near perfect condition. Is it worth $2400?

Serial number is: 5447SA

That's a very reasonable asking price. If you want a 7 1/2 .38 Special I'd be grabbing it. Course I would try to get it for less.

It's up to you.

If you have that Serial Number correct that one was made in 1956, the first year of 2nd Gen production.

If it was a 1st Gen, which it is not, it would be a rare gun as only 25 1st Gens were chambered for 38 Special.

But the SA suffix tells us it is a 2nd Gen.

Personally, I would not be interested in a 38 Special 2nd Gen, all of mine are 45 Colts.

Probably a decent price these days.

That's a bit lower than is typical for 2nd generation Colts, probably because of the chambering. Most of us who buy such guns are into the romance of the things, and the .38 is not a very romantic cartridge.

Beautiful!

One local shop bought a huge estate full of old guns. There were 5 .38 OMMs, including one with a special order 7.5" barrel. Their prices are reasonable, but the two with the best bluing are both out of time.
Im thinking about grabbing one of the uglier, tighter ones anyway to go with my .22.....might stop bye tomorrow.
