Ezra, I've always loved Colts also. I guess it's one of those things, either you love Colts or you just don't care for them.
I've always admired the lockwork in them. The Colt Detective Special has always fit my hand just right.Colt revolvers have many features on them that other manufactures models just don't have. More twist per inch in the barrel, a "second hand" that locks the cylinder tight,right hand rotation,hand fitting, beautiful blue finishes, and not to mention the history of the company.
