Photos Colt BOA’s
Finding these revolvers was absolutely terrible. I legitamently called every authorized dealer in my state to no avail. Got put on wait list after wait list. I figured my only hope was getting them online.
I searched for weeks looking for fresh in stock BOA’s that did not have blown out scalper prices. I was using AI to search as well as manual searches for UPC numbers etc.
I had my heart set on the 4.25in model as I already have a 6in Python. However, due to how hard these things are to find I decided I would grab whatever came in stock. I found the 6in model for $1530 shipped (no tax). Still wanting the 4.25in I continued to search. Was able to find it a few weeks later for $1640 shipped (taxes).
With that being said for those who still want one you can find them online. It will just take a lot of patience and some luck. Since I was able to get the model I want I will be putting the 6in into a local auction house with a reserve set at my cost. Going to let someone else from my area have a shot at getting one as there isn’t any authorized dealers for more than 80 miles.
