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??

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 for value go Colt,
For biggest and baddest .500
For What I think just looks badass Stealth Hunter

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 love the look of it and I think it would be a good killing machine

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.

I say go with the 500. For wha tever reason my focus is drawn to that gun more that the rest. Oh, and look I just voted for it and now that gun leads by one!

I think supply has made up my mind for me. The Colt is not available through any distributer right now. Only one of my distributers has availability on the Stealth Hunter (only 3 in stock) and the 500's are pretty much a dime a dozen. Everybody has em in stock, one Dist. has 18 of them. So, I think I'm going to snag the Stealth Hunter this time around and keep a close watch on the Colt.
