Title: Opinion on colt 38 special
Post by: 100 grain on February 08, 2016, 01:37:47 PM: I don't know much about it. What do you think it's worth? Would you keep it if it was yours? I'm adding a picture of the flaw on the handle also.....and one extra pic just for fun cause we all know someone similar :chuckle:

nice pistol overall

I have on similar that is my camp gun. I love small revolvers for open carry while living camp life. Other than that mine is a safe queen.

Post by: 100 grain on February 08, 2016, 06:18:20 PM: :tup: thanks guys. I got it for a screaming deal because someone was hurting for money. I will definitely keep the originals but I figured it might be worth more with original grips. Yeah I found a lot of information jjb but it was all hit and miss on true identity. What I found was broad info. Cp I wouldn't mind letting it go because I carry a glock 27 for personal. Thanks guys!!

Post by: CAMPMEAT on February 08, 2016, 07:19:17 PM: Is it a Colt Detective 5 shot ? If so, that was my very first gun I bought in 1972 for $150. Very nice gun...

Mine was a 5 shot.
