Thread: Weird Det. Special

  1. #1

    Weird Det. Special

    As a D frame collector, this one had to come home. In 1978 at the very end of the Detective Special production Colt started shoving old barrels in frames and getting rid of them. How about a 1960’s Colt .32 New Police barrel plugged into a Late 70’s frame. Presto. It had some super funky floral wood grips from the 102 year old prior owner. I had these old Charles Daly combat grips that needed a home.

    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.

    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    .32 N.P. Is a very light recoiling round. The owner of the gun would have been a senior citizen in his 60’s in 1978. It was probably a good gun shop recommendation for a light recoiling easy to shoot gun that was the guys “desk gun” for another 40 years.

    We had one of these in our safe at work when I started in ‘81. We ended up with it because someone used it in a suicide. Went to the smelter in the early ‘90s.

    Those flural grips should be a shoot-off prize at the next Revolver Round-up.
