    I handled one of those about a year ago. Nice, but that's a LOT of money for a gun that probably won't be shot. As it is I have a 1913 Colt in the 10,2XX range that is pretty straight but shooter grade that I actually prefer. I have to hold off some with the "invisible" knife blade front sight and round notch rear, and the trigger weighs in at about 9 pounds--but it's a blast to shoot.

    One of these days I'm going to type up an affidavit that says it was taken off Pike Bishop's body after the big shootout.
