Dirtfarmer - beautiful Colts you have there! I've only got 1 of the recent 3rd Gen Colt SAA's, but have 4 USFA's. The USFA's seem to be tighter and closer to the Freedom Arms in terms of craftsmanship. The Colt I have is no slouch though and has a little smoother action. All are amazing shooters. I'd wager my USFA Turnbull editions go up in value more than the 3rd Gen. Colts, but only time will tell!
You could be right, although it would depend on how many they produce and how well they're received.
If you are right, it will mean a new direction in the historical trend regarding Colt branded guns and appreciation over time.
Only time will tell. In the mean time, the safe play and prevailing advice would be, stick with the ponies.
