Had to carry a lot of cash today and....

a Colt

Helping my elderly uncle finish a post-hurricane repair project and had to pay some of it in cash at the job site. Crew looked to be on parole.

Thank you, Mr. Colt, for the security. No safe queen, and no beauty pageant winner, but I bet my life on it.

a little trigger work, bobbed hammer, Jim Badger grips = confidence and a sense of well being :thumbs2:

blue worn off? that's kind of like gray hair...the look of experience.

I agree with the others. It looks fantastic. But since you think it is so worn and ugly, I'll give ya a $50 for it. ;-)

He might sell you one side of the grips for $50.

So there were only six guys in that crew and you didn't plan on missing, right?

Nice wheel gun!

I like those Detective Specials. I think they are cool wheelguns.

I do have a late 70s Police Positive. It's a nice little revolver, but I wouldn't mind a Detective Special to go with it.

LOL! "Treachery" probably includes Safariland speed loaders as well, but those wouldn't fit as nicely as the strips you have there.

I had one of those SmartCarry rigs for my Beretta PX4 Storm...great for when you're wearing overalls.

I was also being slightly hypocritical since my Kimber only holds two more than yours. :tiphat:

And don't forget to note that impressive, high tech, "polyisobutylene" grip enhancer right there.

I'll have you to know that was cut from a graphite/unobtainium, Tour de Flatulence bicycle inner tube. You can't even order 'em from Brownell's. :coolgleamA:
