Do you think you might sometimes carry the DS if it had a 3" tube? If your answer to yourself is a RESOUNDING yes, that's probably the only reason I'd suggest going through the hassle of rebarrelling.
I almost never carry my 905i anymore. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I have thought long and hard about getting a 3" barrel for this Colt, but so far inertia is involved. Since I have no reason to carry a snub, and since it isn't all that much fun at the range, I've just put it off. In the meantime, it has taken its place of honor on my desk, where, like the M37, it will likely gather dust (but prepared to do what might become necessary). Especially for any of us who grew up anytime in the first three quarters of the 20th Century as these appeared in popular media from film to paperback fiction so regularly. Earliest fond movie memory of a Detective Special is with Kirk Douglas in (appropriately named) Detective Story. At least you (sometimes) carry your Taurus. Harvey |
It's still a housegun....
