    D/A .22 lr revolver

    I'm looking for a compact, lightweight double action .22lr revolver. This is for plinking and pocket carry. What's out there that is new is discouraging.

    Colt detective special

    Hi, I'm a new member. My name is Mike. I recently put $100 down on a Colt Detective Special, Serial No. S13XXX. Purchase price, $289 + tax. I did this after a long elimination process. It seems like any firearm purchase is a bit of a compromise. I was looking for something easily concealable...
