Would you trade a late-70's Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP

Nope.

>>31349370
is it a heirloom?

just pay the money for a 6920 they're still reasonable 3 months from elections.

>>31349441
I wouldn't say it's an "heirloom;" more like something a bit older I picked up a few years ago and which seems to be rising in value as time goes on.

The colt will hold value. The AR won't.

>>31349441
1.5 months...

>>31349370
Fuck no.

....

they're both colts, fucking mo-ron

I'd trade a Combat Commander for a 6920. The AR is more practical and the handgun only retains value if you have the original box and paperwork and have never shot it. Otherwise it will cap out.

Guns are not investments. If you want to make money sell it and invest it in a MF. Personally I'd rather have an AR-15 than a 1911 as the former is vastly superior for personal protection. YMMV

Op, make the trade. Saying no to the trade is only valid if you value it as a collection piece. With electronic coming up and the odds of another awb coming, get the 6920. Just do it. I'm not worried about all the revolvers and other low cap pistols I want cause their going to be around. A lot of our evil black rifles won't.

Absolutely fucking not.

The Combat Commander is one of the safest investments out of Colt's semi auto handguns. It has a projection to keep rising and rising.

The collector market is much worse on long guns - they're harder to display and harder to appreciate. You would end up losing over time.

>Guns are not investments
So that's why there are multiple websites and forums dedicated to investment firearms?

Last I checked, my Uncle Eric is up about $50,000 in value from milsurp/Colt's/s&w's and NFA shit he has lying around...

>>31349370
Don't do it. There is a very real possibility that Colt will go out of business in the next few years, and everyone will start snapping up every pony they can get their hands on before they reach python prices.

>$50,000
That's nice.

>>31349370
nah

>>31349370
Nope, save your shekles and buy one down the road (if you really want one).

>comparing Colt Model 70 to a dime a dozen AR with the Colt Logo on it

Does it hurt being that retarded?

>>31349370
No nigga what the fuck ks wtong woth you. Buy an oem1 6920 and justfurnish it to your taste tada. Hold on to that 1911 and you turn it into a heirloom.

if you like that 1911 dont do it it will be hard to find a duplicate replacement later
if you give zero fucks about it convert it into money/another gun you actually want

>Sentimental attachment to objects
KEK! When will this meme end?

6920 is the obvious choice.

>>31349370
If you're going to give into panic buying, at least be smart about it. The only reason anyone would consider a 6920 these days is because of the Colt roll mark. Just find a Colt lower online and buy that instead. If a new AWB is put into effect, you'll now have two guns that carry a premium. If there is no new AWB, you wouldn't have sold a gun that would only appreciates over time for a rifle that is ubiquitous and not under legislative threat.

It's not a good trade.

If you are worried about bans or lack of availability due to panic about potential bans, just get a card with a 0% intro rate and charge it. They aren't terribly expensive rifles.
