COLT GUNS: SHOOT OR NOT BECAUSE OF

[HOLLYWOOD]

SINCE COLT HAS DISCONTINUED SEVERAL MODELS IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, WOULD IT BE BETTER TO NOT SHOOT THESE MODELS AND KEEP THEM IN AS PRISTINE CONDITION AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY MAY CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN VALUE OR JUST GO AHEAD AND USE THEM AS USUAL:

COMBAT COMMANDER S/S, .45
ANACONDA, 6-INCH, .44
AR15 A2, 20-INCH, FIXED STOCK, .223, PRE-BAN, GREEN LABEL

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU OWNED THESE GUNS?

[Mal H]

Shoot 'em. They aren't going to increase in value enough to have missed out on the fun of the shooting.

BTW, you've got to get that CAPS LOCK key fixed. It looks like you're yelling at us - not good netiquette. :)

I'd save the discontinued models and buy the newer versions of these same models. I called Colt last week and they assured me that they have started making 357 wheelguns again, and that the 1991 series is doing really well in sales....

I won't own a gun I can't shoot so I would shoot them or sell them. Wouldn't worry about the Anaconda though, they are going back into production later this year. The Commander is probably still available in a fancier XS series. The AR is worth money to a collector if NIB. If it is used then shoot it, if new sell it for a lot more than what it is worth and buy an Armalite or Bushmaster in the same style as a post ban model.

Do you speak the truth when you state that Colt will be making wheelguns again? **Jumping in air and clicking heels together** Finally I can buy an American made wheelgun not produced by The-Gunmaker-That-Shall-Remain-Nameless. Yippee! Ya'll just made my day.

[Lightsped]

Yes, Colt Anacondas and Colt Pythons are, or soon will be back in production. I called Colt a few days ago to check on their 1991A1s, and those will be around indefinately as well....

[Cheapo]

Gee, didn't we despise Colt for some gun-ban related shenanigans before *&* outdid them with treachery?

I must be getting old.
