The 3913 is one of my favorites. Sounds like you got a decent buy too. I bought this NL model a number of years ago for $700.

Well, that's a good one to end your gun buying. Good luck on quitting.

I'm in that club. Finding one today that is not all beat up or with parts not swapped out is a task.

I think the Detonics Combat Master should be listed as an Honorable Mention. Although produced, it was way ahead of its time regarding the making a small compact carry gun in the 45ACP caliber. To me the most interesting tidbit of the guns design is that the grip safety was deactivated and the...

I found this on GB. The seller listed it as Stainless Steel. Also said in the ad you can shoot it single action or double action. Which indicated a bubba hammer bob job if true. I knew instantly it was a limited Colt Custom Shop late model Detective Special. DAO, Hard Chromed, Factory Tuned...

Yes, I bought one new when they first came out and had the extraction issue. Sent it back to S&W and received it back with a new cylinder. I still have it today.

I doubt very seriously at this point of my life that I would end up anywhere near a black tie only event. However if by chance I did this would be my carry choice.

1915 Colt Vest Pocket. Unfortunately, no documented provenance of who or when the engraving was done, but it is highly thought due to the engraving style, custom grips, and guns locale (Fort Worth, TX) that most likely was done by the Wolf and Klar Company.

I know I’ve shown this group before, but I really like 686’s

I'd say yes if the porting was done after leaving the factory. But there also were certain brands with specific models that were either factory ported or contracted and ported by the mag-na-port company. Then sold as exclusive runs with the porting feature. They are considered factory original...

That's a tiny hammer on that gun.

As stated above the 60 was not but the 64’s were eventually.

Let’s hear from the 45Gap guys how that has worked out. Seriously, the 30 Super Carry had the new cool name but historically bad timing promoting a new gun/ caliber in a very crowded gun market. It was initially DOA and makes no sense trying to resuscitate it at this point. The old adage about...

Bought a no dash 940 when they first came out as a secondary back-up gun. At that time my uniform duty carry was a Glock 17 (9mm) so it made sense. It was a little challenging shooting a 50 round qualification course with especially with the boot grips. I did have an extraction issue so sent it...
