As I've gotten a little older I've decided that revolvers are actually works of art and don't completely suck. I always thought they were old man fudd guns, outdated, and generally weren't for me. When I was about 35 I grabbed an old surplus model 10. Little did I know it would change my life. I liked it so much that I found a model 64 (the stainless version of a model 10). I bought a few Super Blackhawks and Redhawks after that. The Rugers are ok but they just didn't do it for me. Over the years I decided that I wanted to start collecting revolvers. Word of advice, it isn't a task for the banking account challenged. I used to think the crown jewel of my collection was a bnib Dan Wesson from 1975. Then I turned 40. My wife totally surprised me with a nickel plated Colt Trooper MK III for my birthday. Made in 1978. I've since upped my Colt collection with an unfired 1968 nickel plated detective special and a Colt SAA that's beat to hell and can't find any info on. I'm still a S&W and DW fan at heart but dang if these old Colts aren't finding a way into my heart. Wrong cylinder release and all.
