How would you cut that zip tie off without the risk of putting a scratch on the gun?

Side cutters

Side cutters

yep

 

[sailor723]

Even with side cutters I'm always worried about a scratch.....especially if the zip tie is tight and lying flush against the gun's surface.

I still think that a cheap plastic trigger lock is a far better idea. Especially on valuable or collectible guns. A forum sponsor has them at $9.99 for a 10 pack.

This came in to the shop this way

Zip ties, first world problems.

Well, in fairness, I think any problem you had with a high end, $2800 collectible Colt revolver would qualify as a first world problem.

A trigger lock would not prevent some yokel from cocking the hammer - and leaving a drag mark on the cylinder. I think the zip-tie is a brilliant idea - and a pair off small side cutters would have no problem snipping that off, without leaving a mark. There's always the cutting torch option !

If you buy it and are worried, just slip a tiny screwdriver into the back of the zip tie clasp and trip the tang. Then just pull. Easy paesy.

Very nice plastic grips ( custom made ? ) on $2800.00 gun .

Black rubber would be appropriate and traditional for a real Colt

I wish it had a beaver in it instead of an eagle ... it would be more Canadian . Nice gun though, lots of nitpickers.
