1st Gen. guns do bring a premium, as do certain 2nd Gen. guns.
I don't know if I buy into USFA guns holding value as well as 3rd Gen. Colts. Check on line for used gun prices. That Pony still demands respect.
Don't get me wrong. USFA makes some fine guns. I've owned and used them. I think the notion that they're somehow way yonder superior to current Colt production is part of their sales pitch.
If I was selling them, I'd probably be passing that around, too.
