I believe the same will happen with guns in years to come.

Just how long will the prices of S&W revolvers, especially the more common services guns (including Model 19s) stay elevated? A lot of board members are in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and, as they used to say a lot in the 1950s, "It's later than you think." When I look at the list of forums on this board, it seems usually more people are viewing the semi-auto forum than any of the revolver forums. In 15 years will there still be vast numbers of people willing to spend big bucks for 90% revolvers? I'm guessing that in six or seven years prices for most will level out and begin to fall. And that the few of today's 15-year-olds who'll be interested in collecting guns when they reach their 30s will be focused almost exclusively on autoloaders.
