Colt's back in the revolver business

[Machx2]

Looks interesting to say the least. Being a colt revolver fan myself, I have mixed feelings about it. I like that they are getting back into them, but not sure they will be the same quality. I will give this one a shot though. Maybe I am bothered by stupid stuff now that I am getting older, but the name of it definitely bothers me. This is a Detective Special. Colt is trying to sell it by using a name.

Like it. Kinda disappointed it's not in 357 though.

I have several Detective Specials and love them. I think the newest one dates from the 80s. I like them because they are 6 shooter while being about the same size as a S&W J frame. I carry the S&W because the Colts are semi collectable now. I stopped carrying my S&Ws in .327 Mag for the same reason.

I will be picking up one of the new Colts as soon as I see one for sale.

Yea, I am sure those are coming soon. I am more interested in a blued version if they ever start that up.
