    My Detective Special has been excellent, for intended use. I have had it for 25 years. Other than one problem, accuracy, you could not ask for anything better. At 25 - 35 feet the rounds make a tight cluster the problem is that is about 8 - 10 inches from the aim point. Yes, I shoot from a pistol rest and have not problem with my other 7 handguns. I firmly believe that if I could only choose one of my handguns as my only personal defence weapon I would select this one. It is light and small enough to carry, my wife has no trouble shooting it, it has enough power, holds 6 rounds and many other reasons. I hand load and have tried many different rounds to improve accuracy, no luck, yet. I would never sell this revolver. I wish I could find laser sights, no luck on that one either. If you can find one grab it.

    What years did they make this pistol? I would like to know how to find out about when mine was made.

    The Detective Special is an accurate and reliable revolver. It has the typical Colt quality and finish. The trigger pull is ideal. The fixed sights are easy to acquire. The all-steel construction make the Detective Special a durable gu ...
