It's a Swenson safety. The Colt in the pic is on "long term loan" to me from a very dear friend. The Colt was his father's sidearm many years ago, and the "hard life" is from Dad not getting all the solvent off the factory nickel finish in time.

Good Lord does this thing shoot.

Oh, and my wife had claimed it as her night stand gun. I'm smart enough not to argue.
