Colt Detective Special

[joe-lumber]

I purchased a Colt Det. Spec with a serial #9013-- and it had a #3 a little bit further down. How can I tell when it was manufactured?

Nice! Don't suppose you have any pictures? How does it shoot? I'm considering that for my first revolver. What price range was it in? Did you get it online or locally?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Spanky, it looks like some where in 1966. I haven't shot it yet, maybe on Tuesday. I have always wanted a Detective Special even though I have purchased Semi Autos. I will let you know how it is. I have a Chief's Special in S&W #36 and I am not very accurate with it. But the Colt feels better and a little bit larger. It has the exposed shell ejector Rod.

Joe,

You can go to the Colt website to see if your serial number is listed.

I have a '62, a '64 and a '21 PPS that was changed over to a DS.

They are all fun shooters. I know you will enjoy yours.
