A classic Colt New Service Target revolver
A high condition target model in 45 Colt (not ACP). Factory letters to 1926 and shoots as fine as it looks. Now if I could just find a New Service in 357 Magnum, I would be fufilled !

WOW. What a nice pistol excellent example!
The standard version was carried for years by the NY State Police.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

The NYSP version had a shorter barrel. Own one that spent decades in a holster. Never fired in anger but always ready.

Thanks for the 357 info. It is sold and if as good as the pics was a deal.

Thanks to you both !

I could have missed it but I don't recall it being sold when I posted the link. Sorry about that.

Hey, if I had known your opinion of Texans, you wouldn't have gotten it. Mad

I'm sure there are lots of fine Texans. Of the six I have met FTF, one was great (H. Ross Perot who I worked for), 4 were poachers and one was a fat "Constable" working for some wide spot in the road who gave me a $191.00 ticket because I had WY plates (among all TX plates) and was not breaking the speed limit by 20 mph (as the Bubbas were) but only 10 mph.
Needless to say my semi annual 2677 mile migration from Pinedale to Key West and back avoids Texas like the plague as I'm sure this



would be far more of a "Constable magnet" than this

No doubt Texas can stand the loss.

I would agree and Wyoming has far more to offer an old retired outdoorsman than Texas.
