    Hello. Have been researching this pistol for an elderly family member whose husband passed away a few years ago and left behind a few things she doesn't know what to do with. There seem to have been several variations of this pistol and it's been hard to nail down its value or exact year of...

    I decided to contact the Colt archive department and get an archive letter regarding my vintage 1930 Colt Police Positive 38 Special. Thought it would be interesting to find out who it was sold to / purchased by way back then. Received the letter which said that the revolver was purchased by...

    I am about to purchase my first .22, and was hoping to get some advice from those out there who have much more experience with .22's and firearm training than me. I currently own a 9mm, but as ammo is so expensive, I was hoping to purchase a cheaper gun that would make both a good trainer for...

    Hey all. It’s been awhile since I was on the forum but I’m facing a bit of a dilemma. I’m in the market for a new .22lr plinking gun but I’m stuck making the final decision. I’m down to two contenders as of right now. My wife has a Walther/Colt Gold Cup Trophy which is an amazing 1911 styled...

    Similarly to the shotgun information request posted earlier, the family inherited this Colt revolver. Any one has any idea of possible age and price?

    Unlike most of my father's guns that I know he used, he obviously didn't seem to preserve this pistol cosmetically. Despite it's neglected appearance, I know he used this gun A LOT over the years, and it was his "carry" gun whenever he felt the need to have one. While I personally have never...

    I don't know a lot about this gun - I recall seeing it, but never firing it. There's obvious discoloration (I'm calling it "tarnish"; perhaps that's not the proper term) on the entire frame. I want to think that's indicative of this being an antique of sorts... but my gut says it's more...
