I guess I'm the only one around here that likes Colt's...'29 PPS, '69 OMM, '76 DS.
Nice!
Loves me some Colt's.
Thanks for posting pics.

While I can't say I am a Colt fan, it is nice to know somebody else likes double action revolvers.
Those are sharp.
I have an Airlight 38 snub. It looks just like the one my dad carried in his detective days, but lighter.
Pics or GTFO.

I'm guessing he means S&W Airweight...never heard of an Airlight...I do like the old model 37 Chiefs Airweight...I'd like it better if it had 6 rounds instead of 5 though....

Thanks....The DS is my usual daily carry...I like autos, but prefer revolvers.
Nope. The AirLite is the scandium framed option that's even lighter than the Airweight.

Well, I learned something new....I guess I'm not up to date on Smith's..lol....Nope. The AirLite is the scandium framed option that's even lighter than the Airweight.
It's a punisher, though. A friend said he's shot his twice. Once out of ignorance and once out of misplaced masochism. LOL
Too, the extremely light weight turns it into a bullet puller when shooting heavy +P loads. The bullets can back out in the cylinder and cause it to jam.

Cobra was aluminum at 15 oz. Agent was aluminum with shorter grip frame like the 70s models, not so well finished. It was 14 oz.
A 16-oz Agent with shrouded barrel was made in the 70s. Another in the 80s with the new styling and parkerized finish.

That's plumb scary. I bought a brand new S&W Model 12 (K frame 2" airweight) in the 70s, fired two rounds through it, and traded it in on another steel gun. Punishment. The Air Force was the main reason for the development of the M12. I'm sure mine was the civilian model with steel cylinder...still brutal.

Two rounds of 170-grain hunting ammo, just to stroke my own ego.
The result? Bloody fingers that didn't point the right direction any more.
I'd love to own one...for shooting .38 wadcutter target loads only.

Nothing special, a 1967 made square butt Model 10-5, 2" barrel. Locks up like a bank vault. Finish is damn near perfect save for one or two blemishes. Case hardened trigger and hammer coloration is still strong, the thing almost looks new.
Probably should have wiped it down more before snapping those shots though.
