I must admit that up until a couple of years ago I was strictly a 1911A1 guy. One of my gun trades involved a fellow with an older .38 Spl. Colt Police Special. I reluctantly accepted it in trade. I figured I would just pass it on to someone else later on.
When I got it home, I decided to clean it before I put it away. As I sat there looking at this revolver I started to gain a whole new respect for the skills of the craftsman back when this pistol was made. The bluing was amazing and the fit of the metal pieces was flawless. It also had a very nice trigger pull in SA/DA modes.
I did pass this revolver along to someone else, but not before I shot a few cases of ammo through it.
This old Colt caused me to start collecting older S&W revolvers. The older pinned and recessed models are my favorite. I started with "collector grade" S&W revolvers. Those are now gone. I can't own fun guns to shoot without shooting them. Mine are now "shooters" not "collectors". I do have a really nice 4" Model 57 (no dash) remaining. I shoot it occasionally. It is by far my most favorite revolver and caliber. I do not have a picture, but those familiar will understand.
I don’t put a bunch of crisco or bore butter over my balls like all the people on YouTube.

Had a chance to shoot the new M625 .45acp revolver today.
Shoots great. Recoil kinda stout. Didn't expect that.
Gonna need some soft rubber grips I think.
Moon, with the internal lock I'm surprised the entire range didn't spontaneously combust.
I agree with you. I'm just poking fun at the horrible lock.

Cool story and a cool gun.
Definitely looks to be an 1849 Pocket Model Colt.
Have you tried lettering it through Colt?
