GUN COST

Are guns going out of sight? I have been looking at 44 Colts and S&W. Forget about it. Also Dan Wesson is a bit higher than I think is reasonable. I never thought I would, but I looked at the Raging Bull series. They are very reasonable. Are they worth they money? Looks like the lockup at both the front and back of the cylinder. True?

Auctions are a pretty good place to look for out of production guns, but there is always the buyers premium to add to the cost. The premium varies from auction to auction anywhere from 10% to 18%. Since your looking for a .44 Colt or Smith I assume a double action since Smith does not make SA cowboy guns. Check your local gun shops for consignment guns periodically, what your looking for may show up there.
I disagree I've had and do have quite a few Taurus wheel guns. I've NEVER been dissatisfied.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, you could buy a used but good shooter Colt SAA for a $20 gold piece.
Today, that same gold piece can be sold for enough to buy a used but good shooter Colt SAA.
