Hey guys,
I have been wanting a Freedom Arms 97 in .45 colt with a 5.5 inch barrel and adjustable sights for many years but either didn't have the money or couldn't find one. I've been looking for one locally or even used for a decent price instead of ordering one for full price from the factory. I'm sure most of you know, when they pop up, they don't last. The one time I found one for sale, I hesitated about 10 minutes and it sold.
Here is my question, I have the chance at a model 97 in .357 locally with adjustable sights and 5.5 barrel for a good price. I really have no use for a .357 and already have a gorgeous Python that never gets used. What do you think the chances are that I could find someone who would want a .357 and has a .45 Colt they would want to trade? Or should I just let it go and keep looking for one in .45 Colt and not hesitate next time? I'm doubting anyone will want to get rid of their .45's but there might be a chance.
I thought about buying the .357 and just shooting it and keep looking for a .45 but just dont' think I would use the .357 much and not sure I would have the cash to buy two, it's been hard enough justifying one of these things.
Thanks,
