I remember that you have that nice nickel Colt DS. Did not remember about the Colt Agent. Very cool. Really seen some nice Colt Trooper MKIIIs lately, but pricey. Yes, the Colt DS is my favorite .38 Special snubbie. Appreciate the new 7 round K-PAK2 and the SafeSnap discs among other things. Hope your holidays will be great!
I love my third gen detective special. It was made in 1975. I only carry it on special occasions. It does have a some wear (looks like was carried a lot and shot a little). When I bought it there was another that looked like it got hit by a truck. Guessing original owner shot one and carried one. Was gonna come back for the other the next day but it was gone. Was planning on turning it into a fitz special. Noticed it shoots closer to poa with lighter loads. At least mine does. Also like you said after 3k plus p it is supposed to be looked at by a professional gunsmith (who specializes in colts).
The Detective Specials are gems. Nice to have 6 rounds of .38 Special in a snub nose. Great that you were able to find at least one. Have a Happy and Safe New Year hasgunwilltravel6840!

Your DS is a beautiful piece of history. Thanks for sharing. I have a 1972 Colt DS in nickel and a 1967 Colt Agent. My two favorite snubbies.
