Default Any other thoughts?

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
