The legendary revolver, from the movies of my childhood - the 80s, a very beautiful weapon, I would even say that it is a piece of art and not just a gun! 👍

What a great gun. Wonderfully preserved. I've got a lawman III from 1978 that's a favorite of mine.

Thanks Ray. It was a lucky find. I have a 1979 Trooper MKIII also.

In ‘74 my issued Detective Special (a vintage model from the ‘50s) saved my life in a gunfight w/three armed robbery suspects. Mas Ayoob published an article about this in a Fall 2016 edition of American Handgunner.

It's an iconic & a real good looking sample. It makes my blued 1994 detective special look very utilitarian. Stumbled upon it lightly used in 1994. It has factory Pachmayrs with the rampant Colt insignia on them & it's bluing is still beautiful.

Lindo dê mais esse revólver Colt, plasticamente está em perfeito estado de conservação, parabéns pelo revólver, uma relíquia que não se encontra tão mais fácil, a não ser com colecionadores

I have one like yours in mint condition. Those Colt’s have the most beautiful dark color bluing, almost black. No other guns match their beauty.

The classic, historical, and venerable Colt Detective Special appeared in 1926 and is simply the 2" or 3" barrel version of Colt's D-Frame Police Positive Special revolver. Other Colt D-Frame variants included the Cobra, Agent, Diamondback, Commando Special, and the pre-World War II (1939-1945) Banker's Special. After 1972 Colt Firearms of Hartford, Connecticut offered the Detective Special with shrouded ejector, improved front sight, and hand filling walnut grips. The price and demand on these classic Colts have gone through the ceiling in recent years! I sort of regret not purchasing a Colt Detective Special like this back in the 1980's while still living in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I do recall several being inside the glass display case at then Payless Town and Country (no longer exits today). For both men and women these are classic handguns for concealed carry, and still remain formidable! Defense load? Perhaps the .38 Special 148 grain lead target wad-cutter remains practical for a snub-nosed .38. Or maybe there are better loads available today? However, the former (wad-cutter) remains ideal for hunting small game: rabbit, squirrel, and grouse. And for dispatching vermin such as raccoon, skunk, and possum. Also, for butchering livestock. Note: At 21 oz. unloaded a 2" Colt .38 Detective Special loaded with CCI's classic .38 Special snake load: No. 9 shot and carried in a good suede lined holster, would be highly useful for the fisherman/outdoorsman/camper in rattlesnake country. Of course my 4" Smith and Wesson Model 15 (K-Frame) .38 Special Combat Masterpiece, after fitted with Pachmayr grips would be preferred. But the latter unloaded at 34 oz. still is 13 oz. heavier than the former. ----James A. "Jim" Farmer Merrill, Oregon (Klamath County Long Liv e The State of Jefferson!
