MSRP is like 1799-2000, I think we were selling them from like 1500 and up all depended on the model and such. It is kind of sad when companies take a product they make which is a good seller and just stop making them, and Colt is not the only company to do stupid things like this, and then they wonder why their company goes downhill.

Actually, Colt's money problems came after they decided to forego the general public and their wants, for the lucrative GOVERNMENT contracts......all was well for a time. Then they lost their contract and were left sitting with their collective thumbs up their butt. Just now getting back in the game with the citizens...I for one wish them well. And Freedom Arms makes a single action that puts the Colt SAA to shame in every area except the name. JMO
I agree with you 100% about colt and their preference to Gov't contracts. We used to discuss that while enjoying all the new guns at work. I agree on the Freedom Arms as well, and Ruger makes some really nice Cowboy single actions too. I also like the New Dan Wesson DA's coming out, but a high price point.....which is a drawback.
I have not sold guns in about 18 months so I may be out of price if I remember we sold them for about 13-1400 for just the revolver itself 4" or 6" they had a Pistol Pack which Included both 4,6 and 8" barrels for the revolver MSRP was like 2-2100 but we had none in our inventory so I am not sure what we would have sold them for, we usually sell way under msrp just depends on the deal our Buyer got for them. Dan Wesson was bought by CZ the revolvers felt well in the hand and seemed very well made I sold one, but not to anyone I knew so no chance to get to play with it. I was lucky and knew many of my customers so a chance to test things I did not own and had sold them happened from time to time. Like the Desert Eagle 1911's and quite a few weapons in the HK inventory, I had a regular who bought one like every other month or so and I got to go shooting with him a few times.
