Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Colt's DA Revolvers

I was researching to buy a Smith M15 when I came across a discussion of Colt DA. In the discussion dfariswheel was describing Colt DA function, including tightness, accuracy, timing, and so forth. It sounded interesting, so I took a list of his timing checks to a local gun shop. Surprising me, I found one in perfect time - I had assumed from all I'd read that all Colt's Detective Special would be out of time and non-functional. It fit me well and was in good shape so I bought it.

One unexpected benefit came as I showed my new purchase to my wife. She said, "You're not selling that one. If you don't want it, I'll take it."

There's a lot to be said these days for the cheap entertainment of shooting - and not having to chase brass.
