Fuzzy, taken with cell phone, traded a Smith model 637 for this 1957 Detective. Could not resist. Young man did not want it because it was not rated for plus P ammo. Oh well, I'll take it!!

i would trade a smith away for a colt any time any day

Congrats on the nice DS

As a Colt Snub lover, you did great. Very nice looking DS.

Nice DS Congrats!! Ohhhh to be young and not realise what you did! He'll hate himself in about 25 yrs.

Just added this from another post here

A beautiful piece and a very good catch.

Nice! Looks like my '65 Cobra.

Great gun! It looks to be in fine shape. Would be nice to see some more photos. Wish I felt as good as it looks.

I'm a '57 model and I'm still rated for +P ammo. That Colt will handle it too if called upon.

I'd probably save it for nice and keep running the +P in the 1966 vintage Detective Special I frequently carry these days.
