Title: Allen Firearms Stainless Steel Colt style revolvers
Post by: smittyc7 on March 02, 2022, 08:26:46 AM: Hi folks,

I just bought a Allen stainless steel .36 and I'm looking for information about it. Made in 1984 or at least I think so, the date code is AM. Been put away and never fired, but I can't verify that until I take it apart and look inside. Anyone out there with info on them? I'll post a photo too.

Oops, I see you already found one of his posts.

Civilian model because it has the oval shaped trigger guard and is not cut for a shoulder stock. Since this the first civilian model to pop up in the 16 years I've been collecting, tracking and recording SS Colts, I'd say it is a rare find."

Yep. My bad, it is a .36. I just didn't think and type at the same time. I favor Remingtons that I can swap cylinders quickly and my brain thought .44.

I've decide to sell this pistol, living in a gun safe, it is not being enjoyed by anyone. What is the best site in everyone's opinion? I've never bought or sold from any, I have sold a few Sharps and a Spencer, but private sales rather than auction type sites. Any pitfalls I need to be aware of?

Seems he was last on CASCity a week ago. If you PM him he might see this sooner.
