Not sure you saw my point..
"I just want to shoot and the Navy arms is
(more than) good enough for that"
If it were $ 1475 for a 1st. Gen. Colt then I see the reasoning to collect.
but $1475 for 3 Gen. that you'll shoot... well it won't be a collector in anywhere near your life time.
Nice to say its a REAL Colt, but in the end it that $1000 difference...
Sure I have Colts, but I shoot Uberti's Richards, & Richards & Masons.
Grab that Pietta, enjoy it ...
