Design and build that stand the test of time
The COLT DETECTIVE SPECIAL is built on Colt’s compact D-frame and carries a six-round cylinder—one round more than many similar small revolvers. Its all-steel construction gives it a balanced, solid feel in the hand, and the fixed sights and short barrel preserve a low profile for discreet carry. This particular example is pre-owned with light finish wear and handling marks but has been inspected for proper function and is in good working condition. A leather holster is included, adding immediate utility for storage or carry.
Trigger, controls, and carry ergonomics
Owners will appreciate the double-action/single-action trigger system: double-action allows a rapid, consistent pull for defensive use, while single-action offers a lighter, crisper trigger for deliberate sighted shots at the range. The fixed sights and short barrel favor close-quarters practicality where sight acquisition and concealment matter most. For those transitioning from semi-autos, the simplicity of a six-shot revolver is an advantage—no magazines, no slides, and predictable manual of arms.
Caliber and performance
Chambered in .38 Special, the COLT DETECTIVE SPECIAL delivers manageable recoil and reliable performance. .38 Special loads offer a strong balance between controllability and terminal performance for personal defense and training. For range sessions, the cartridge is economical to practice with and easy to shoot accurately from a compact, well-balanced platform.
Priced at $749.99, this pre-owned offering represents a classic defensive handgun with collector interest and practical carry potential. View product details and pricing here.
