1975 - Diamondback .38 spl

1984 - Python

1996 - Python

1992 - Anaconda

What!? Not one Official Police among them?

But it's my favorite.

Edit. Come to think of it.

No SAA either. The OP is only my favorite Double Action from Colt.

I'm a S&W guy at heart, but those are some nice Colt revolvers! I've only owned a couple DA Colts, and once bought a new SAA with both LC and ACP cylinders.

Only have one Colt revolver now, an old 3 5 7 model. If I take any revolvers to the range though, the Colt is usually one of them.

I can understand a guy saying that they(Colts)don't fit his(or her)hand.But still,he will have to admit that they are beautiful.If he doesn't,he better wear an antiflak suit for what's coming up to him and I bet not only from me!

Had a 4” Anaconda and a 60s 4” python,had to let them go when the prices got crazy,but I still have this one

Colt sure did make some handsome revolvers! I admit, I have a soft spot for Pythons, Trooper MK V, and Diamondbacks. There is something about that ventilated rib atop the barrel that, to my eyes, is beautiful. I think the ventilated rib is also functional for scope mounting and it does a better job of dissipating heat and reducing shimmer along the sight plane when the barrel gets hot.

Real treat seeing some great Colts. As much as I admire the Python the Single Action Army remains my favorite. Real treasures here and thanks for the mouth watering pics!!

Beautiful guns guys. I just have one. It’s old and pretty rough but I wanted to be able to say I owned a Colt. I don’t have any pictures of the revolver but it has this neat logo on it.

I've owned several Colt's over the years, including a 4" blue Python from 1964. They all got sold/traded for something else when gun trading was more like a hobby for me.

Today the only ones I have are "new" ones. A Cobra 38 from 2019, and a Python from 2020. I'd like to have another 4" Python, but I'm starting to doubt it'll happen now.

I especially enjoy shooting the Python. A very nice gun.

I'm a S&W guy , have quite a few but there is a soft spot in my heart for Colt . I only have one , an OM Trooper in 357 , 4" barrel . I looked for yrs to find one that I thought was a great deal . I have no intention of ever selling it . I would love to have more , an SAA would be nice but not at the prices they are bringing . Understand I'm not jealous of those that have the Colt SAA , Python etc . For me it makes it more challenging to find a Colt that I can afford . It's the " hunt " I guess . Regards, Paul

Thanks for ssharing pictures, the 2" blued 1976 Lawman MKIII is an AWESOME self defense gun!!!,very,very robust, as they say for Rugers revolvers, "built like a tank"....,also the Colt Diamondback in .38 Special and .22LR are beautiful and accurate guns!!! a friend of mine used to hunt rabbits and quails with a Diamondback .22LR, this was the time when I did my hunting (1994) with my Model 617 6" barrel, even at 50yds or so, with CCI SV ammo and with a moving target on a run generally at the third shot the target was a rabbit stew from the hot pot!!!...

Those 2020 Pythons still may bring me to "Pythonland". If they ever appear this side of the pond.

Wow! Classy classic Colts(CCC for short

) you're showing Paladin.

Thanks.

daddio202 · Apr 5, 2020

Some very nice colts you guys have accumulated. Very nice looking guns so far. I have a few that have yet to be included into this thread. A couple Officers model targets (OMT's) 1 in .38 and 1 in .22 lr. A new service in 38 spcl. And just have to include my minty 1949 police positive special. Lastly a 1914 Colt Army Special. Enjoy

Kurusu · Apr 5, 2020

I was (indirectly)reminded I also have these.

They were already shown in this forum.

But since this is a Colt thread...

Edit. Woopsie.

Got carried away. It said Colt revolvers.

bgrafsr · Apr 5, 2020

Posted before, but as Kurusu said, this is a Colt Thread.

.44-40 WCF Uh oh, sorry. This one is a USFA SAA.

.44 Special

.45 Colt

Same gun as above, but with Stags

hkcavalier · Apr 5, 2020

I don't have many and might sell off the two .38s soon. But for now I have:

1926 PPS .38 Special

1930 Detective Special (not well refinished...newer barrel...GB mistake!)

1933 OMT .22LR (very well refinished by The Custom Shop)

kmyers · Apr 5, 2020

Those are fine looking Colt pistols. We have three Colt revolvers here.

We also have a Gold Cup Trophy and another 1911 in .38 Super as well as an AR carbine.
