I am considering getting a '58 Colt .357 Magnum CTG 4" barrel, serial 158xx... I was told it's some sort of a police-issue gun because it has rubber grips... also comes with a speedloader for it...
this would be my first revolver, all my experience thus far has been with semi-autos, so I'm looking for more info on what to watch out for... I think it's a double-action, can anyone verify? is it a safe gun overall? any known issues (I've heard something about getting out of timing, and something about a locking ejector rod)... it is supposingly in decent shape, with minimal blueing wear, no rust, but hasn't been fired or cleaned in a while, just stored... also, if anyone could suggest a ballpark value for it, that would be great... any other info would be appreciated... thanks in advance!!!
