Opinions about a Colt King Cobra. Older One.

[Pirate]

Only if I wanted a divorce. But it sounds like a good deal.

Anyone else have opinions to help Me do what I'll probably do anyway?

I just think they look classic! I am not a wheel gun guy but they are super nice!

I think it's priced just about right.
It's worth what you want to pay for it. But, I did some research online and people are asking any where from $1,000.00 to upwards of $2,500.00.
I'm a Colt fan and collect them when possible. I managed to pick up a Python for $1,000.00 a few years a go and last year picked up a Diamondback for $500.00. I also own a Colt 1911 Government Series 70 .45 and a Colt Agent.
To me they're historical and nostalgic. I carried the Agent during my undercover days.
They're also an investment. My wife is not into guns. She't not anti-gun, jut not into them. So even if she sells all my collection for the low end of pricing after I'm gone she'll make enough to pay for burial.

So, the long and short of it is, go for it!

Thanks! I've done the same research, this one is like I said, like new! Virtually Un Fired! Looks like Factory tested only! I'm going for it!
BTW, The King Cobra is an upgraded Trooper Mark 5

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD MY EX! 15 years after the event at the last court visit. In hind sight, things would have gone a lot smoother.

Me, if it was one I wanted and it was available... then it's worth the $$.

The 3 Q's
1. can I buy a new one? (is it still in production)
2. when was the last time I saw one of these? (coon's age and did I want it then)
3. Can I cover this buy? Or will it cause an issue or make me short on my family responsibilities. Bitching aside...


And that was should put one in yer head...

The 3 Q's
1. can I buy a new one? (is it still in production) Not in production! For Many years! Buy New one, like this? Not Likely! Not in production!
2. when was the last time I saw one of these? (coon's age and did I want it then) 1st one in this condition I have seen!
3. Can I cover this buy? Or will it cause an issue or make me short on my family responsibilities. Bitching aside... Was able to cover it. Rule #1, Always have extra gun money set aside! You never know what you'll run into!
