Is It Wrong To Lust?

I'll bring MS's 1982 Detective Special when we do a revolver day, then you will know why.

Well, if you would stop jetting around the country handling the king's business, maybe we could HAVE that 'revolver day'. But I've got your game figured out now... first you're shoving that Ruger BlackHawk at me, now this. No doubt Dave will "let" me shoot his Ed Brown, next.

My buddies...

The same way they survived before repeating pistols, or reliable percussion caps, or flintlocks, or slowmatch, or steel...

People survived before air conditioning, but if I catch you outside monkeying with my Trane in July, we're gonna have words.

Quite so...My inner whipper snapper just had to come out though I'm just one of those 20 somethings who never knew what life was like without the modern conveniences. 17 round magazines*, air conditioning*, and internet*. I'd likely die without those things.

*These things are untrue. I grew up on a farm in Lebanon, not terribly far from Indy actually. But the house was well past the century mark and was bereft of HVAC or internet connection. And as my formative years of shooting were spent during the tenure of a good ol' boy from Arkansas (spit), I was taught to shoot on a Smith K-38 target masterpiece. I still lust for that gun as it sits in my older brother's safe in St. Paul...

I picked it up from the LGS.



There was interest from other customers, but I was first in line.

Serial lookup on Colt's web site dates it to 1976.

The cylinder turns the wrong way.

And the cylinder release works backwards, too...

Congrats, Stephanie, that's a nice snag.

I have an old Colt Lawman, and it shoots very well. I hope you have fun with yours.

My beat up old pocket gun.

No shroud.

No shroud.

Dat fedora!

[LSP972]

No shroud.

That's what I'm looking for… right there.

How does it shoot, accuracy wise*?

* Had to add that or some smart kitten would 'splain to me the loading process...

Mine looks like the top one with the bottom ones grip.
