I have acquired a 3“ Detective Special in the 2nd gen pattern with thes extractor rod exposed. The F serial # dates it to 1974. Thoughts?

I'm interested in picking one of these up in .45 ACP, because I've got enough 9mm tactical pistols to last a lifetime.

I'm just not sure what variant I should be aiming for. I'm sure they're all going to have good triggers, and I have no particular preference over series 70 or 80. I own pistols that use both and it's not a deal breaker.

Seems like the Gold Cup Trophy can be had for a very reasonable prices used/like new (around $1,000). Is there any reason I should be aiming for a national match instead, or perhaps an older model?

Back from the Gunsmith after a tune up. The LGS covered the bill. Issue with hammer follow fixed. She'll get to goo to the next range trip. What a beauty.

I been debating on buying a python here recently and sportsman’s warehouse is about to have their balloon pop event is their exclusive python worth it?

Hey yall!

Follow up post on whether I should buy the like new Python for $720 or not. I pulled the trigger on it and picked it up off yalls feedback (and not much needed convincing).

Pictured is the gun after a light cloth scrub down.
My very first Colt firearm! And I’m ready to LARP as Rick Grimes lol

Can someone school me on LE6920 please. Value and desirability of this specific one would be awesome. Serial comes up as a 2013 Colt LE6920-hawk. I do not have the rest of the "survival kit" that came as a package. I know the big thing is pre 2013. But I saw in a forum somewhere a guy talking about how 2013 was the year to have. Thanks for any help

Hey yall!

I’ve been wanting a Colt Python 6” for a while, mainly because I’m a fan of TWD. I know they are also a higher-end production revolver.

I found a like new one for $720 before taxes, which is almost half the price of a New one. It’s just the gun, no case or extra accessories.

Does this seem like a BIN deal?
I also have some small hesitation on getting it because I don’t know how often I’ll actually shoot it. It’ll just be a fun range, talking piece for my collection. lol
$720 is still a lot of money for me but I can afford it.

Also, is there anything to look for upon inspection before officially buying it?

In a noir mood tonight.... A glass of whiskey, a Colt M1917, and a little Bogart (The Big Sleep). The M1917, was a bit of a mess when I got her. Someone finished in an ode to black paint finish. I stripped her and left her in the white, a real "working man's finish". One of the previous owners had bent the crane so badly it couldn't close. My father put a New Service crane and cylinder (45LC) in her, but when I got her, I hunted for a few years to find the parts to restore her back to 45ACP. As Bon Scott once said, "She ain't exactly pretty, she ain't exactly small..."

Looking glam!

Family heirloom. Anyone have any information about these?

Got my Royal after 18 months on order.

It’s a HbarII match target competition has a 16” 5.56 barrel, manufactured in 98, really just want to unearth all information about it I can, such a sick gun, it’s in incredible shape, I can’t wait to really dial it in, any info or history from the time would be super cool👍

This is my basic carry for day to day tasks. I’m in construction if you’re wondering, and yes, everything I do these are on my person, while my DeWalts and tape measure hang off my pockets.

Hello, I’m looking to buy one of the two since I’m
In NYC and limited to 3 months wait in between gun purchases. If you can get one, which one is better? Thanks

I will admit upfront I don't have much knowledge on prices of older used guns, or revolvers. But I've recently gotten into revolvers and have been looking at a lot of older models of colt and S&W, etc recently. I've noticed Colts usually come with a pretty good price. Thought I found a steal when I saw a 1938 Colt Police Positive for under $500 but now after looking at truegunvalue and elsewhere have seen that that is the common price for a Colt police positive. Can someone explain why that is? Compared to like a Colt Python which always seem over $1000.
