Purchasing a new Colt SAA
«

I'm contemplating purchasing my first Colt SAA and am currently looking at the following listings, I understand the differences between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation Colts but do not know if some the listings features of a particular gun would make them undesirable.
I plan on shooting it!
So please feel free to inform me as to what purchase and more specifically why I might want to stay away from purchasing one of the following.

All of the guns on your list except one are third gens. Any of them would be a great shooter. The 2nd gen is nice but I personally wouldn't pay that much for a shooter. Some second gens are collectible if they are in new condition. Otherwise a Colt is a Colt and they will all shoot. Depending on what you want to do with it a spring kit will make life easier and if you intend to shoot it in competion an action job is almost a necessity.

Even given today's inflated Colt SAA prices, those seem high. Keep looking (everywhere you can think of), you should be able to find one for less $$$.

Don't take this as gospel but my research indicates and 3rd Gen with a serial number of S34xxxA or higher should have a removeable cylinder bushing.
I personally don't like gold writing or other commemorative markings and I think most commemoratives are not considered as desireable as normal factory guns by collectors.
I do see a problem with the last one. The seller says it was made in 2009 but the factory letter say 1999. The serial number seems too low for a 2009 gun so I think 1999 is correct. Serial number and pictures also indicate pressed in cylinder bushing not removeable cylinder bushing.
