Although, In my opinion, they are a little over priced when compared to other firearms, Colts are good guns. I own several of them, but I think a Smith is just as good, and will serve most people just as effectively as a Colt. A simular S&W is several hundred dollars less. Course if you can "steal" one from a friend, you might get a good deal.
You do know the Viper has an allow frame and is almost a copy of the Police Positive. A 95-98 percent gun should go for approximately 350-400. I don't think they will ever have any collector's value but it may be worth holding on to since it was only made one year (1977).
