The barrell now reads .38 special ctg. but it is not a .38 special gun. I do not have the paperwork anymore for this gun and do not know if the correct ammo is 38 Short Colt or 38 S&W. I thought it was 38 S&W but the man at the gun store looked at my gun and said it was the 38 Short Colt. I bought a box and went to an indoor shooting range. As I was about 20 rounds through the box, the cylinder started locking up on some of the rounds and I could not pull the trigger back. Was it because of the wrong ammo. Should it have been 38 S&W. Did I hurt my gun? I closed up the box after 20 rounds and went home. I looked at the gun and it looks ok and it dry fires fine. Can anyone help me out in identifiying what type of Colt revolver I really have and what should be fired out of it? Also, can you advise if I hurt my gun shooting 20 rounds through it? When you look at 38 Short Colt and 38 S&W in the store and compare the two rounds they look almost identical. The serial number is 133209 on the frame and it looks like a lower case "d" is stamped under it. On the cylinder part serial number is also 133209 stamped on it, however no letter is stamped below. I am assuming that it had a longer barrell on it at one time and a gunsmith put the snub nose detective special barrell on it. The gun looks pretty old but there is no year of make stamped on it. Any help with my problem would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I called Colts customer service and they said they could not help me with the serial number, they did say the lower case "d" under the serial number is probably the inspector's mark. The .38 special round will not fit this gun. The push rod for ejecting the cartridges sticks past the barrell aprox 1 cm. Therefore, I know the .38 special is wrong. When I bought the gun, they said the barrell was replaced.

nickel plated wood grip


About how rare is this ammo and how much does it cost?

Recently purchased a colt detective special, and was quite surprised when I got home and realized it wasn't made in .38 special. I don't mind really just never heard of those types of ammo before.


I have always wanted one, and now that I have a little bit of money saved up am probably going to get one. What are some parts on this gun that get a lot of wear that I should look for? Anything good/bad I should know about this gun?


about how much does a first generation Colt .38 detective special sell for in about 90% condition?



Thanks for the first four answers so quickly! Is it removable? I am really interested in the third generation version of the C.D.S. I don't know a whole lot about guns, so I don't know if it makes a difference.





The gun looks like it has not been fired and has the Box

can't find my serial number in any listings
I think it a 38. Is nickel plated with no markings on the barrel. But otherwise I can't tell the difference. I have looked on the web for serial numbers, but this one doesn't come up on any web site.
