I think most of the guys here prefer the older guns for a variety of reasons, some for nostalgia, some because many were hand made, and the quality is just that much better. The old guns dont kill any better. Theres just something about them. With this in mind, I just picked up an original Colt Trooper .22 long rifle revolver. I sure didnt need it, but it is a well made gun, rare and made on the same frame as the future Colt Python. I bought it because it represented value and something else I have trouble describing. Its just cool, I guess and myself being 60 years old, Id rather have a gun made about the time of my birth, than a newer model.

Socialism is almost the worst.
