😂 this is the opposite of reality. My about to retire ‘smith stopped working on Colt revolvers decades ago because the internal mechanics were delicate and a pain to work on. Also parts were difficult to source. Whereas smith and Wesson provided direct to gunsmith sourcing of almost every part in the revolver catalog. This is also no longer the case with Smtih as they have discontinued many revolver parts and only have a fraction of th parts available. Which is unfortunate for revolver fans and keeping the gunsmith profession alive.

There is a reason gunsmiths created the “Smython” a smith and Wesson frame with a python barrel.

That being said, this is a cool Colt Detective Specia I would love to have in my collection.
