    High speed Gunfighter...1960

    If you were a plainclothes detective in 1960 and a hard core gun guy, this is what your carry set up would look like. A rare 3" Round butt Colt police positive .38 special (3" Detective specials are rare, this is the same gun but with the much rarer Police Positive Special marking). This is a factory version that was Chic Gaylord's favorite set up that he called a Metropolitan Special. It is in a Chic Gaylord Double Action concealment holster and Ammo pouch and is fitted with Fuzzy Farrant combat grips. I also have the heavily worn original grips and T-Grip adaptor. Enjoy....

    Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

    Very cool and unique Colt, Darryl. I love those Farrants and wish we could get him and John Hurst back for a few weeks to have them make us grips for our revolver stashes!

    I googled those grips and saw some way cool pictures of them in use in "Adam 12." I love 'em! Is anyone still making anything like them?

    What would be the advantage of that over a 3" Model 10?

    Herrett's Detective stocks are "Kinda" close.

    They are still made to order, in Twin Falls, Idaho.

    The model 10 is a bit heavier and the Colt is a lot heavier on the nostalgia and cool factor.

    Corn, lots of it.
    DB,

    I seriously hope you give consideration to a book about the history of modern gunfighters. Almost a coffee-table book heavy on pics but with a history behind each one. I'm thinking of all those big names from the 80's LAPD, others many haven't heard of, and some cool trivia thrown in. In the era of self publishing, your industry contacts, etc., I think it could be very popular.

    Also I wouldn't pass on a gunfighters HITS manual, either.

    EM


    I edited to add that I have been off the 'net the last few days and posted this before I even read the DB man-love thread regarding the SIS revolvers....
