Return to “Any other wheel gun carriers around?”
WOW! Beautiful pistol! You just have to love a Colt revolver!carlson1 wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 7:36 pm I do not carry this one much at all. It is almost pristine. It is a 1974 model Colt Detective Special. I guess the Colts were so popular over the Chiefs Specials made by Smith for a while because they were 6 shots rather than 5. Great little guns. Here are two pictures worth looking at.

Maybe I am not as much of an oddball as I thought I was.
I like it! I am assuming it is Nickel. Stainless normally does not shine like that.
I have 2 S&W 6" Model 29-2's. Brand new never fired in boxes with consecutive serial numbers. Yep, they are safe queens. I have a S&W Model 442-2 Airweight I carry along with three speed loaders.It is easy to forget it is being carried. I load it with +p rounds.I figure 15 rounds will take care of most any situation I might be in. If I am planning on taking down ChiCom I will be carrying my AR15.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 5:05 pm I’ve got 5 revolvers in the safe ... all S&Ws ... a 5” Model 29 .44 mag, a 5” Model 327 TRR8 .357 mag, a 2” Model 640 .357 mag, a 1-7/8" M&P 340 .357, and a 1-7/8" Model 642 .38 Special +P. The 642 is my wife's. Anyway, of those 5 revolvers, the only one I actually carry is the M&P 340, and that’s mainly my "throw it in my pocket to walk down to the mailbox" gun—but I rarely actually carry it anywhere else. The primary reason I don’t is that I’m just better and faster with a semiauto, especially with reloading. Don’t get me wrong ... I like shooting my revolvers; and if I was going to backpack for an extended period, I’d probably pack either the TRR8 or the Model 29. But I just find semiautos to be more convenient for EDC.
