    Which handgun should I buy??

    So Uncle Sam is giving me back more than I expected and I'd like to add a wheel gun to my collection. I have three in mind that I want. I'm only buying one right now, the rest I'll get later. Which on should I get first??

    Stealth Hunter


    S&W 500


    Colt SAA CCB

    If you are going for future value, get a real 1st or 2nd gen Colt SAA. It's something you can shoot and will retain it's value forever if properly taken care of.

    That thought crossed my mind but I don't want to feel bad shooting it. In the future I may buy a 1st or 2nd gen to keep for collection purposes. Plus, I don't want to spend that much. At dealer prices I can get a new SAA for just over $1100.

    I agree completely, I just can't decide which is more important to me.

    Well if you wanna shoot it alot, go with the Hunter. I hear the 500 isn't "fun" to shoot. I havent shot it yet but its heavy holding.

    I'm leaning towards that one too, but none of my distributers have one in stock. I "may" have found a loop hole to get one directly through Colt, but I'll have to order some sort of custom work. I can get it "tuned" for $130. Might be worth it.

    I have a Rossi M92 24" SS Octogon barrel in .45 Colt, I love that round. Cast and reload my own.

    Nothing cooler than a wheel gun that sports compensating ports, the 500 is great.
