Hello to all: I have a Colt New Police / Police Positive 32 cal "short colt" left to me by my dad. And I found a Police Positive 38 special as a "rent a cop" trade in at a local gun store. Both are in great shape and both are great range guns, fun to shoot and more accurate than I am. The 32...

The Cowboy Defender lists for aroung $490.00. They sell on the internet for $400 to 425. I found this one just surfing at Southern Ohio Guns for $309 and with shipping sent to my FFL was only $324.

Hello all, I was considering buyinf a Smith Governor revolver but cannot find one even to handle. "Has the Governor been impeached?" No one locally has one and there are very few to be found on line. They seem to all be back ordered? Are they really selling them faster than they can make...
