The few remaining Colt products, 1911s, western style revolvers and the Colt branded civilian AR carbines are wonderfully made, gold standard products. Like real gold these are a bit too pricy for most of us.
If I had the money, I’d buy custom shop remakes of the snubby 6 shot detective revolver, the Python .357 four inch and any of the cowboy revolvers. I’ve seen used Pythons at gun shows and very used ones go for almost $1500. The Python trigger pull is so smooth, much better than most other revolvers.

The least expensive revolver on the market now, the Armscor, is a clone of the old Colt DA.
How good a clone, I do not know. Those I've seen with mine own eyes (albeit years ago) looked rough, but Interwebz Gunboard Hearsay (YMMV) on them is good.
