I decided to finally take the plunge and get a Rigby so clearing out the safe a bit. For sale is a Colt Shooting Master in 38 SPL. These were the finest most hand fitted revolvers Colt ever made, being produced in very lower numbers. Only 3,500 total were produced, with this example being one of the first.
The Shooting Master was Colt’s top of the line revolver and were hand fitted and polished for a smooth double action and single action. Each gun was hand built by the best assembler that Colt employed. It is said that if a Colt Shooting Master was returned to the factory for correction in workmanship, then the assembler responsible for that assembly operation would repair it on his own time before going home.
It is an all original “shooter” condition with some blue remaining and original grips. I have not shot it but it was checked over by Turnbull Restorations who gave it a clean bill of health. Comes the Colt letter. Happy to answer any questions. Asking $2000 shipped to your FFL.
