Here in Idaho, I have never been able to find any quantity of vintage Smiths. I dont look for Colts, but they are scarce as hen’s teeth at LGS’s and the local classifieds.
The pace at which one could accumulate Smiths here would not make much of a hobby. Therefore, it is this forum or GB for the most part.
I have found a few good deals on GB, but if you are buying premium Smiths, you are going to be paying premium prices.
This ain’t a cheap hobby anymore. Even the plain Jane Smiths are going up in price and those that were once plentiful and now becoming harder to find.
