I have a Colt Police Positive Special. The reason I bought it was to learn about it and evaluate the possible virtues touted for the Colt Python (The P.P. has the same/similar lock-work). In short, I have come to the conclusion that the hype connected to the lock-work, that it is some how superior to a comparable S&W, is just that...hype.
Therefore, having satisfied my curiosity, I wish to sell the gun, but because of my add-ons, changes, etc., I have no idea what I should ask for it.
When I bought it, it had the "pencil" barrel as pictured. However, I discovered that there was a bulge in the barrel, so I ordered a more modern (no pencil barrels were available) Police Positive Special barrel from Numrich and had it re-barreled.
Its condition was not all that good, finish wise. Much of the blue is gone from the action. The original grips were worn fairly smooth on the right-side, indicating that it may have been in police service. However, the action was so stiff, that I doubt if it had been shot very much. Nevertheless, with the new barrel, it shoots point of aim at 15 yards with 148 grain wadcutters over 2.7 of Bullseye. I have added Asian grips and will include the originals, and an extra hand, and mainspring with the gun.
Also included, is a full-flap, Black basket-stamped holster. It is a holster that I have made with the intention of using it to protect the gun when sitting in my chair in the woods, menacing wild-life. Therefore, instead of a belt-loop, I put a very stiff spring clip on it so I could attach it to my belt, or as it is my custom when sitting, to the front bib of my coveralls.
I realize that I have lost my butt and will never get out of it what I have already put into it, but would like some idea of what I should ask for it as a shooter.
What it looks like now:
