I've always wanted a Colt Detective Special but like many other wants, it's been shuffled around on the list. When I was in my late teens I had an opportunity to buy a minty one at a gun show in Louisville for $250. Unfortunately at the time I didn't have the cash to make the purchase though my buddy who went with me ended up getting an SKS so one of us had a good day.

Anyhow I thought I'd share some links regarding the tried and true Detective Special for those of you out there who like or love this particular revolver. ;D

Yep, the Detective Special is one heck of a great gun. I got a buddy that has one.

I had an older version back in the 60s, never liked it much, traded it for a 2-3/4" Security Six, not as pocket friendly but a shooter.

i had one back in the 80's and traded it for a model 38 airweight bodyguard for pocket carry......probably should had kept it, but then...like now....i was in more of a "need" than a "want".........

gun trading...takes care of the short term, but creates regret in the long term....

I hear you brother. I can't count the guns I have owned I wish I had back.

I’m one lucky man, I still have every gun that I have ever owned, except one that was stolen way back in 1969. You know I would like to have that 22 back. LOL

The Colt DS will just plain SHOOT!!!! Get to spend some time preiodically with an old "first model", well-worn both inside and out, but smooth as glass. Just gives ya' a feeling of being well-armed, regardless of where you are...

If one stumbles "your way" and you possibly can, GRAB IT!! You'll become very fond of it.
