Hi all!
I have, what may sound like an odd question. I have a 1st gen (1932 according to colt's website) nickel DS. It has the standard 2" barrel. i would like to have a 3" swapped onto it. Can this be done? And could i use the shrouded barrels that came on the later generations?

Well to be honest, I got it for a good deal. Love Colts, and have always wanted a 3". Not something I plan on selling at any point in the near future.

But is it physically possible to fit the newer barrel to the older frame? beyond the moral issues

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think i'll be heeding your advice, i'd love to have a factory 3 inch as opposed to a modified original, i just hesitate to part with this little beauty. I just think adding another pony to my stable will have to suffice. My '72 Combat Commander needs company from her era anyways. wolf

im not sure if my pearl grips are factory, any specific way to tell? markings under the grip panel, etc?wolf

(sorry so late, have had a tumultuous last couple of months.) I checked out the grips, they have black plastic on the inside and just look/feel like they're plastic fakes.

405***, last I looked at Colt's web page it could be either a PP or a DS.
