It shoots .44 Russian and .44 spl? Looks really nice,did you have it refinished? YEP, JUST LIKE A .44 MAGNUM CAN SHOOT .44 SPECIALS. SIXGUN SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REFINISHED AND TUNED IN THE DISTANT PAST. THIS OLD SIXGUN LOCKS UP TIGHTER'N DRUM. IF SOMEONE DID REFINISH IT HE WAS A MASTER AS THE BLUING IS PERFERT AND ALL LETTERING IS AS NEW. I'VE HAD THIS GUN FOR MANY YEARS AND THATS THE WAY I GOT IT EXCEPT FOR THE IVORY GRIPS. I HAVE CARRIED IT FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION AND IT SHOOTS VERY WELL. MB |

I've learned something new,or been reminded of something I forgot. It looks like a grand old gun,I really admire the workmanship in the older guns.

Great looking old New Service. I own a couple but none that look anywhere near that good.

Nicest NS of any caliber I've ever seen. The Ivories make that blued gun-JUMP. Love the threepersons holster in the background.

I missed one in that same configuration at a local shop for $600 just a few weeks ago. Not as nice as yours, but who cares for that price?

Hi Mike,
BEAUTIFUL iron you got there Mike! I thought I knew my handguns, and for the most part I still think I do...But I didn't know Colt had made any double action handguns in .44 Spl or .44 Russian. I knew of the Anaconda, but not your model there ?
Take Care,
Chris

Chris you make me feel OLD!!!
I had a hankering for a New Service from about age 14 when I first discovered Skeeter Skelton's writing.
MB: That is a beautiful gun, it reminds me of the Steve Harrett .44 Russian New Service Skeeter wrote about.

I knew of the Anaconda, but not your model there ? Take Care, Chris A LOT OF YOUR SIXGUN EDUCATION IS LACKING. YOU NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCH. YOU MIGHT START WITH BOOKS LIKE "GUN DIGEST BOOK OF THE .44"; "SINGLE ACTION SIXGUNS"; "SIXGUNS BY KEITH" "STD CATALOG OF SMITH & WESSONS"; "THE MODERN REVOLVER"; " PISTOLS A MODERN ENCYCLOPEDIA"; "FIGHTING HANDGUNS" ..... |
