Beautiful gun bro. I want a set of those so, badly, but I'm most excited about my first one whenever that day may come. I want a nickel and blued RB's and a nickel and blued sb's. The first year run of these just said 38 special on the barrel. I've seen a couple for sale. They're pretty expensive.
Those old Colt detective specials have an iconic look of their own....Guess I'll have to be satisfied with my almost new 1994 detective special with it''s factory pachmayr grips sporting the rampant Colt insignia.
This is from an era when pride in craftsmanship meant something, and it shows.
Absolutely! Now the "Colt Cobra" of today, it's a disgrace that they even considered calling it a Cobra or even a Colt. It looks like a cheap turd.
You got yourself a nice Colt 😊
She’s a beauty! Classic look of old school pistols.
She sure is. One of my favorites!
A department issued Colt DS saved my life in a 1974 gunfight w/three armed robbery suspects on a downtown parking lot during evening rush hour.
Wow, that’s incredible! Was it a 3rd issue DS? With the slightly beefed up grips?
Nice! I too would love to get my hands on one of those someday.
I love the old snub nose revolvers. Great video!
Thanks. Keep your eyes open for more like this in the future

Thanks man! The cool factor of the 1st issue square butt DS is off the charts, in my opinion. Good luck on your hunt for one.

They definitely do. The free floating ejector rod is always a stand out trait. Nice! You could always throw a set of older wooden grips on it.
Great info on this video!
Glad you got something out of it!
Beautiful revolver
Update: I found a excellent shape 1965 Colt Detective Special, no box though.
Definitely super cool pistol!
Very very nice
Thanks!
I have a 1961 Dec. Spec. 3 inch.
