Interesting Colt and Story

[Ronald_55]

Stumbled across this interesting Colt for sale. Also an interesting story with a gun buy back program horror tidbit.

I am not affiliated with the seller.

Wow.

Considering how restrictive their gun laws are now it would be a cool collectible to have. Just not 10K cool.

You'd think that for the kind of money he's asking, the seller would put more than one picture in the ad.

Buy the gun, not the story. This motto has served me well.

Yeah the story or "heritage" is usually the most expensive part on the gun.

$10K cool? I don’t think so. I thought the same thing as Grayfox; one picture? It also says there are authentications letters; but it doesn’t say there is one with that gun.

He also has three $100K Holland & Holland Rifles rifles in case anyone needs one.

I made the mistake one time of pulling the trigger on S/S 454 Holland&Holland that a buddy of mind handed me while on the back porch of his ranch house on Brush Creek. Not paying attention I thought it was a 4.10 shotgun and he told me to fire it at a big White Oak tree at the corner of his back yard. I just threw it up to my shoulder without tucking it in and I am just wearing a T-shirt. WOW!!!!! did I get a learning experience!!!! Was not expecting the recoil I got at all. It had a steel but plate with an engraved Bengal Tiger head in it and I wore a bruise of that tiger head in my shoulder about a week and hurt to move my right arm for about a week also. I never again have shot anything someone handed me without checking to see what I was going to shoot. Glad that was about 25 years ago. Today it probably would have broke my shoulder..............................

Paying all the money for a Pony logo  LOL...

That's not worth 10k, I personally wouldn't pay over 2k for it, to me that would be to much and I've bought some expensive 1911''s over the years.

That gun really isn’t even a shooter those old colt delta elite 10mm literally beat themselves to death. I doubt it would make it 1000 rounds without issue.
