Saw a COLT Lawman today...

at a local pawn shop. It was worn somewhat. What would be a good price for this gun? They had $465 on it.

I was scoping for some S&W's, but only Taurus, Rossi, and Charter Arms out there.

Depends on what "somewhat worn" means.

That price would be about right for a really nice one, but "somewhat worn" it sounds too high.

I agree, it depends on your opinion of "somewhat worn".
I paid $370~ish last year, for this 4" Lawman & felt like I got a good deal. This one has some holster type bluing loss mostly on the barrel & a light spot on the side of the frame, otherwise it's in great shape.

I paid $450~ish for this snubby a couple years ago, which I felt was pretty much market value at the time. It's only got one little mark on the whole gun. (sorry, blurry pic)

Hope that helps ya decide.

I just picked this one up at my local sporting goods store hidden amongst a bunch of over priced S&W's for $425.00. Last year of production(1978) It is perfect with the slightest amount of holster wear.It has become my favorite shooter.I took the flawless Colt grips off and found a pair of very nice Jay Scotts from the same period for $25.00 NIB.

It did not look nearly as good as any of yours do. I think that I will stay away from this one for now.
