Went into my local gun store to pick up my 1920 Colt Model 1908 Hammerless .25 and spotted another interesting older Colt. It's a roughly 1951 Colt Detective Special. Kinda worn like you would expect a 53 year old gun which was used quite a bit to be. But it appears to be in good mechanical shape, locks up tightly and has a smooth trigger.
Now I am normally not interested in Colt revolvers but this one is also marked "HPD" on the butt. According to my dealer it is from the Hartford (CT) Police Department, just across the river from where I was born and raised.
I am thinking about it, just not sure how to include it in my collection of older firearms. It would make a nice companion piece to my 1949 S&W M&P.
