Good Afternoon All, Thank you all again for the warm newbie's welcome on the forum! Currently, I own two Smith & Wessons out of their Classics line, a Model 586 with 4 inch barrel and a Model 10 with the 4 inch heavy barrel. While I love the looks of both guns, I have been wanting a Colt New...

Good Morning Fellow Colt Fans! I'm a new revolver enthusiast from the Los Angeles area (a rare breed these days in CA), I started out with a pair of S&Ws (Model 586 and Model 10 HB), but I am longing for a Colt New Service in either .45LC or .45ACP. I'm looking forward to learning everything...

Not in the best condition, but recently got the Colt letter back.

The subject line says all. I appreciate any help on this. Thanks! NS41.

Hello, A friend of mine dropped this revolver off tonight hoping I could identify it... It has no markings other than a serial number (8751) which you can only see when the cylinder is out, on the frame and cylinder arm (matching). I thought the caliber was 45 Colt, tried a round, doesn't fit...

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and was wondering if there is a source of information that lists the total number of Colt New Service Target and Shooting Master revolvers that were made, and also that gives the total number made in each caliber? Is there a really good reference book on these...
