Despite the fact that IL will never have CCW, I have recently decided that my next purchase will be a snub revolver. I looked at a third issue Colt detective special and absolutely fell in love with this gun. It looked like a little brother to my King Cobra, only .38, not .357. Additionally, it was blue, which I don't like. It was in pretty good shape, roughly 95%, but I would still very likely get it hard chromed to match the rest of my collection (everything I have is stainless or hard chrome). At $400 for the gun (USED) and $150 for the chrome, am I better off to get the S&W 642 that CDNN has for $315 (NEW)??? I don't have much experience with aluminum in firearms, how does it hold up compared to stainless steel? How is it for cleaning? Please, gentlemen and ladies, help me!!!
