I've always been a Colt Man, but.......the SF-VI/DS-II/Magnum Carry wasn't one of Colt's better efforts. It was a "last gasp" attempt to stave off bankruptcy.
I bought an SF-VI and was disappointed in the design. Quality was good, but I had issues in the new lockwork, and the poor design of the muzzle of the gun. The squared off muzzle was so sharp that it could actually slice your hand open.
I modified mine to a close version of the Detective Special, by re-radiusing the muzzle, attaching a ejector rod head, opening up the rod window in the barrel shroud, and cutting a lead for the rear sight.
The gun was acceptable, but I was dissapointed since I really wanted a stainless "D" frame Detective Special.
If you do consider buying the Colt, take a look at one before buying blind. You might do better with one of S&W 's various models, or the Ruger SP-101.
Yet another option, which I intend to do soon, is to buy a Colt "D" Detective Special and have it hard chrome plated. I did this years ago, and was totally pleased.
