I keep looking with a yearning at photos of the old New Service, especially the flat top models. Many years ago I tried to get Colt to consider reviving the New Service and giving it the Python treatment. But who was I to try to tell Colt how to run their business?

Even if they had made the gun with a 4" bull barrel and adjustable sights, anything to breathe life into that big framed field gun!

My .44 Special from years back:



And maybe even mate the New Service frame with an Official Police grip, as S&W did with their L-Framed guns.

But Colt didn't listen to me, and now they are no longer purveyors of fine revolvers.

I wish I owned Colt...

There'd be a lot of changes made!

Lol...

Bob, what kind of grips are those? I need a set!

Not until you paid off their massive debt.

Well, thank you very much for the compliment! That gripmaker has long since gone out of business and I'm currently retired.

I started those as sort of a high school shop project around 1955 or so!
