My first Colt letter- Diamondback

[Alice The Cat]

I wanted this letter to make sure it was a real 2" barrel gun but was hoping for anything interesting. Mel's sporting goods rang a bell but I had to google it. Turns out a pretty famous shootout took place there involving Patty Hurst. I bought it in Orange County from a guy that bought it in the late 70's so there is a good chance it spent its whole life in SoCal without ever being fired. Overall I'm happy with my first letter and now I want to get few from Smith.

I'm a big fan of the Colt "D" frame guns. I have two Diamondbacks. A 4" .38 and a 6" .22. I also have a 3rd Issue Detective Special and a 4" 4th Issue Police Positive Special.
Great guns!
