Great bunch of guys on this side of the fence too. Very nice OMM and in the rare .22 Magnum caliber. Thanks for posting.
Colt OMM .22 Magnum
OK, I guess if this keeps up, I'm going to have to admit to being a collector of Colt revolvers. I seem to be spending about as much time over here lately as I do in the Semi Auto section. I believe this to be a "1960"….S/N 788xx. A little honest muzzle wear and some on the high spots but overall in very nice shape.

Thanks guys…I've been here a few times before 
they are good people!
In trying to learn a little more about this pistol, I read this on Wiki…so it must be true
The .22 WMR was introduced in 1959 by Winchester, but was not used by Winchester until the Winchester Model 61 slide rifle could be chambered for it, in 1960.[SUP][2][/SUP] By that time, Smith and Wesson and Ruger had revolvers for it, and Savage had come out with the Model 24 and since late 2012, the model 42, a more modern update than the 24, a .22/.410rifle. It was the only successful rimfire cartridge introduced in the 20th Century.[SUP][3
[/SUP]Did Wiki snub Colt? It appears that the OMM in .22 WMR was produced in 59 and 60, at least those are the only years I have seen them in so far. Would that make this handgun the first firearm to use the new cartridge from Winchester ?
