1928 Colt Detective Special.
Black (whatever them hard black stocks are called)
Reloads of 158gr LSWC Standard pressure. I have no clue to the recipe, and the buddy of mine that did these 20-25 years ago - cannot recall either.
Other loadings are standard pressure and whatever is handy.
I just shoot the durn thing.
Model 64 3" RB HB.
Bone stock, including Factory stocks
One is in a safe off site, with other stuff and been 13 months since I looked at these (I guess I need to think about doing so) Left it loaded with Win 125 gr STHP - they look good in that cylinder. Shoots these well and I have taken quite a bit of small game with this gun. Semi-Sorta retired.
Model 64 3" RB HB - another one that is used a lot.
Now the Eagle Secret Service Stocks walked off,and currently using the original set of stocks on this gun as well.
I seem to be big into shooting stock guns as the Errornet says one cannot do that.
Loads include :the reloads mentioned above for Colt ( 158gr LSWC standard pressure) and mostly Standard pressure loadings of whatever is handy. Gun Likes 158gr loads.
Does fine with 148 gr Wadcutters, and used these to eradicate ground hogs.
I basically grab whatever and shoot.
Speer Plastic Training bullets, and Fiocchi loads of 38E 148 gr JHP.

Model 36, Model 37, again bone stock and using Standard Pressure loads above and Speer Training bullets.
Model 10, snubby and 3" barrels - I really really like these!!
Brain Fade - J frame .22 lr - I likes this gun a LOT! I get to use this one and is a great shooter, too much fun, and quality practice for Model 36, 37
Now for the .38spls the speed loaders are on loan with the Eagle stocks and some other wood stocks.
I personally only do Wood stocks. I shoot Double action, weak hand, strong hand, using both hands, each hand only, as close as bad breath distance to out to ~ 100 yds. I shoot daylight, low light and dark. I even get on the ground and shoot back over my head.
I admit to still being a big kid and shooting tin cans off a cross-tie, clays hung from a coat hanger, cans being reeled in by a Zebco 202 kids fishing rig,and walking in rounds at a coffee can, full soda can, water balloon - "out yonder".
Currently all the .357s are loaned out and being used elsewhere.
Does the NAA 11/8" .22 lr mini revolver count? Naturally single action only...last used for a deal we did on a neck lanyard that breaks away...
Tip: hide a second one of these guns nobody knows you have, transition real fast and when folks wonder how you started shooting again so fast - holler out " Speed loaders!"
Had 'em going for ittle bit I did.
I likes these little critters, especially dedicated .38spls, bone stock and 158 gr loads my favorite with wood stocks.
Please trade in / or send to me - all these old antiquated guns - shooting old pathetic cartridges- and get a new polymer gun with higher capacity magazines that take extreme , ultimate, and enhanced loadings.
Please.
