Thanks for the feedback guys. I am also the poster who was inquiring about the 38 Super and it looks like that's the direction to head. I also know of a full size Colt 38 Super which already has Bomar sights and two extra mags. It clearly has been fired but I doubt if I'll ever wear the thing out and it really is ready to go already. My only hesitation, other than not really knowing enough about where to look for excessive wear or "home gunsmithing," is that you folks here have pointed out that official Bullseye events, should I choose to enter them in the future, would require a 45 acp.
The Super is also an excellent deal and the price really doesn't recognize the great sights or extra mags so the money saved here could go to any pistolsmithing that the gun might need from being fired so much by the previous owner (clearly a target shooter because he also traded in another Colt which was built up with target modifications).
