I picked this up for Mrs. SC about 15 years ago. Since it wasn't original, it was a great deal. It was her first carry gun and she shoots it pretty well but it has been retired for a 1911.
It is a nice shooting gun. I'm not sure if it is the nostalgia, hand fitting, or what but it shoots nice.

Wow. Haven't seen a pair of those stocks in ages. They were once all the rage among plainclothes guys.

My lgs had a beautiful example of a gen2 in their used case last week. I put a deposit on it until I sell a couple knives or next weeks check comes around.
I'm pretty excited about it. Is there anything specific I should look for to check for timing issues? I plugged a couple snaps in and it felt and sounded right to me, but I'm not super experienced with wheelguns.

I would like to find a 3" DS at a reasonable price. But since Colt always seems to be on the verge of going out of business, finding a good deal on a potential collectible safe queen probably isn't going to happen. Besides, that's Nyeti's wheelhouse.

I actually used those for a period of time when I pocket carried a J-Frame a couple of decades ago. Despite their appearance , they aren't "slick" at all and the girth is quite a bit larger than the factory Magna-style stocks. They're fairly durable, too.
I can't believe they still make them.

The path of least resistance will seldom get you where you need to be.
I like the Colt DS, but their time has passed. It is very tough to get parts for one (best way is to buy another one) and even harder for find someone qualified to work on one. I have one that dates to 1964 that my daughter has adopted. I have gone to the SP-101 and to the J-frames.
