Still sports the old style stocks and unshrouded ejector rod for that "Dick Tracy" look. It has seen an increase in use since I retired. Here's the Detective Special kept around here. In my old age I've gone "back to my childhood" and am again liking a nice bright nickel finish after loathing the look for most of my adult life. The revolver is so good for carry purposes and for shooting that it's worth pursuing despite being discontinued by Colt and despite being chambered for. A nickel Detective Special may be had for less. A couple more listed have non-original nickel finishes or other problems so their lower prices are not attractive. A couple more starting at $699 and $800 are simply priced too high.

I don't think I've seen one for less than 10 bills for some time.Ī quick look at nickel Detective Special revolvers on GunBroker finds several in the $475-$550 range. The $1875 starting price is probably the reason for the lack of bids that but they are never cheap.

There is exactly one example currently found on GunBroker that's been on there since yesterday with no bids. When one is offered, lines form trying to buy it unless it is way overpriced. The revolver was made in small quantities and is uncommonly found. Sorry to have mention this but you won't be finding a Colt Magnum Carry for any $795.
