Yep, and recently, too...

Colt revolvers.

I've always been an S&W fan. Had a Detective Special, but couldn't get used to the cylinder release after years of shooting S&Ws, so I traded it on an S&W.

Recently, though, I got the jones for a Colt revolver, and this year have picked up two -- a circa 1969 Official Police .38, and a 1930s to 1940s Police Positive Special in .30-20 WCF.

Never thought I would own Colt revolvers again.
