    Should they get an exception?

    Well this thread is constructive. Why don't we all just start throwing mud at each other and just screech at other "are to" and "are not". Wow. Nothing like adults taking the "High Road". :rolleyes: Seems to me that the majority of the posters on this thread (on both sides) have already made...

    Simple goodness... the 38 Special.

    Love the 38 Special revolvers. I've come along later, but I find that I can get some pretty nice ones for more reasonable prices than say a .357 magnum. Colt pre-WWII Official Police (Mfd. 1936) $425.00 - last week Pre WWI S&W M&P (Mfd. 1913). Nine years ago for $225.00. The start of my...

    Revolvers languishing in LGS

    Here the frenzy seems to be leveling off. While 9mm pistols( of all makes and models) and the 5.56mm black rifles are still selling revolvers are available and in a couple of my LGS's there are plenty of 45 and 40 pistols. Also shotguns, bolt action rifles and lever action rifles are available...

    Is 6 Shots Really Enough?

    Well said Kleanbore. Basically this thread is akin to scholars in the Middle Ages arguing about how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.

    Colt Police Positive vs. S&W model 10

    I have several M&P's and a K-38. I also have a Colt OP, OM Target and a Trooper. Plan to keep all of them.

    Is 6 Shots Really Enough?

    Yes. If you don't think it is carry something that carries more bullets. If you think six shots is overkill then carry a five shot S&W J frame. I don't get wrapped around the axle about all the uber tactical stuff anymore. Plenty of folks with $2,500 45 autos have lost and died and there are...

    I finally found a Colt Official Police. Finally

    Thanks for the compliments. I agree with you jhvaughan2. Which is why I now have four Colt revolvers and a Colt pistol to go with my S&W revolvers. I'm a big fan of the "old" revolvers. I won't be shooting it all the time, but like I said earlier when I do shoot it (along with my others) it will...

    Used revolvers becoming more available?

    Here in my area it seems to depends on what shop you go to. A few of my LGS are pretty empty when it comes to a great selection. Most of the revolvers are new production models. But just two days ago I went into one of my favorite local gunstores. This guy always has a great selection of older...

    I finally found a Colt Official Police. Finally

    WoodchuckAssassin According to Wilson my OP was manufactured in 1936. No idea when it was actually shipped. I need a letter from the factory for that. I believe the letters are $75.00 and take four months. As far as the loads go Colt advertised back in the early thirties, when S&W came out...

    A Little Gem

    The I frame revolvers are great little revolvers. Actually I'm going to call them cute. Good find and congratulations.

    I picked up a pre-War Colt Official Police yesterday. Gunday Monday. I like that.

    I finally found a Colt Official Police. Finally

    Thanks. Funny how revolver that was once deemed to be just a plain jane utilitarian revolver is slowly turning into a collector's piece. Others might have an easier time finding pristine OP's, but I am not so blessed. So I am happy with my find.

    I finally found a Colt Official Police. Finally

    So a couple nights ago I learn that I have a little over $600.00 in my Toy Account (i.e, saving account). Hooray says I. Yesterday after several hours of working out in the yard I decide to treat myself and take a quick drive over to my favorite LGS ( Boulevard Gun & Pawn ) and see what they...

    9mm Carry Ammo

    Federal 115 grain +P+ JHP in my 26. Federal HST 124 grain +P JHP in my 19 because that is what my department issues me.

    Media's pet phrase: "Gun Culture"?

    I don't agree. There is a gun culture and I've been a part of it for the past 33 years. I don't think the media made it up. Now the term "gun nut" is one that I do find offensive.

    I'm tired of gun shows...

    I haven't been to a gunshow in six years because I just haven't. Now I'm hearing about all the silliness and have no desire to go. There are a couple LGS where the employees are nice guys, there is a good selection (even now) and prices are still okay. And like others have pointed out there is...

    What do you do to get away from all this "gun drama"?

    I meditate, do yoga and eat yogurt.

    Yes indeed. They are nice.

    6" Colt Police Positive - advice please

    Yeah it looks fine. Ultimately it's your gun and your money. There isn't any real collector's value so do with it what you want. I've known guys who have taken older revolvers with no collector value and had them hard chromed, nickled, re-blued and so on. Several years ago I had a couple Model...

    Grabbed a trooper mk III today

    The Mk III line of revolvers is considered to be a very strong design, excellent metallurgy. However if you're planning on much dry firing be sure to use Snap Caps. The sintered metal that Colt used for the hammer (and other parts) will break without the use of Snap Caps to cushion and it would...
