Of all the Colts I've owned over the years, all have departed except this one.
It's a 1936 Officers Model Heavy Barrel .38 special with its ancient Sanderson target stocks.
I take it to the range almost every week, and its accuracy never ceases to amaze me.
Perfectly balanced, locks up like a vise, easy-to-see sights...what's not to like?
It eats a steady diet of 148gr. wadcutters, and among the guns I shoot regularly, it's number one of my 'top three'.

Very nice classic Colt! It's a good looking revolver and the stocks look as comfortable as a pair of favorite blue jeans. I've never experienced any of the old time thumb rest target stocks and would like to spend some time with a revolver so equipped.

Do you like Bullseye with your wadcutters or Win 231?

Here's a Officer's Model Match circa 1957 (the year I was born) and a target shot from a rest at 25 yards using mixed brass, 158 grain SWCs, and a medium charge of Unique. I was impressed as this is only my general purpose .38 Special plinking load and not some carefully prepared stuff. The revolver is as you describe yours.

My long nosed Smith & Wesson Model 14 took care of me with this group for an internet forum "postal match" a few years back.

Our own forum member Erich awarded me the nice knife as a prize. I have to tell on myself as I managed to cut the top of my left thumb with it within 15 seconds of opening his mailed package.

Those are some very nice looking Colts, guys!

Don, that's pretty impressive to be the last of all the Colt's you've had.. that speaks volumes to me!
