    but, but, gunstores lose money when they let you do a PPT. YOu mean that if they let you come in to do a PPT, that they might actually sell stuff that they have as well

    Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

      It's a great find. Crazy comes in to play with the price paid, which we don't know.

      Enjoy your new Colt!

        Good for you! Enjoy shooting it; Colt DA revolvers are a pleasure to own.

              i have no appraisal skills regarding this gun. but as a layman with an opinion... i'd say you did very well.

              congratulations on your find.

                Anybody know why the S/N is in the 900's if they claim to have only made 500 of them? It seems all the S/N's i have seen have been odd numbered. Did they save the odd's for six inch version and even's for four inchers? Has anyone ever seen a four inch Grizzly?
                The Colt Grizzly is a Python barrel on a King Cobra frame and, AFAIK, they were only made with a 6" bbl. In good shape they used to sell for $1K to $2K. However, lately I've noticed more than few older S&W's selling for very good prices which I attribute the economy. I don't know if it is affecting the price on used Colts but I'll bet it is.

                        Just a guess...

                        I would think they assigned a certain group of numbers to that model. SN don't generally start at 1 & go up. Maybe the Grizzly has a prefix of 9-something. The prefix might also be a date code indicating when it was built.

                        You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
