1943 Ithaca....

Pachmayr makes one...

Thanks D. I figure I might as well post the pics in case anyone else has the same issue in the future. My grips are genuine factory...they are off my dad's 1969 DS. I ordered another pair from Numrich but they don't come with the screw. The screw on the right in each picture is the one I...

You can't go wrong with Gemini...his base package also does a nice meld and bead blast, but I guess with an engraved model, you won't ned that...give him a call and see what the price would be for just the action job...ph, and his fiber optic sight makes shooting outdoors a ton more fun...

Hopefully Dfariswheel sees this...I know you are an expert on Colts.... I ordered a pair of checkered wood grips from Numrich but they don't come with a screw (2nd issue for square butt, 1969 model). Can you tell me if this is the right screw for the second series short butt frame? 175560...

Just thought I'd share my 1985 Police model that someone gifted me this year...it was sitting in his safe unfired and he wanted to get rid of it...who was I to say no?

When my dad was a detective back in the sixties, I remember him having a 14 inch side by side...might have been a savage...

I saw them for the first time in the West Hollywood armory today while I was running the mobile range...gorgeous guns...The slings adhere to the KISS principle...fling it over you head and let it hang down...now if we can just keep the Deps from borrowing the lights out of the forearms....;)

Here's my 1965 39A....

Yep...after some research it sounds like a mainspring problem...

took it out to shoot today and nothing but misfires...seems the fring pin is falling back into the reciever after I load a round into the chamber...and even if I nudge it back out by dropping the lever an inch, most times it still doesn'tg fire...the lver also feels a bit sloppy as it doesn't...

Great guns...and fine looking too...but they are bigger than a j-smith (larger frame and larger cylinder)...also about 7 ounces heavier...so if you are looking to replace your 642 as a pocket gun, it's not in the same class...some guys will tell you carries okay in the pocket but it really...

A 3 inch ain't no ankle or pocket gun so in a decent holster, the hammer should not be an issue...I'd leave it alone...maybe do a little meld job on it so it's not as sharp....

Sounds like you want a pre-lock so look around...399 isn't such a great price that you can't pass it up...
