The last of the Detective Specials from Colt, manufactured from 1997 to 1999. A very few made in .357 magnum. The .38 Special is capable of using +P Ammo, something none of the earlier Detective Specials were recommended to use. Stainless Matte finish with Hogue Presentation Rubber grips. Excellent carry gun. A New In The Box .38 Special generally brings $450 to $550 depending on the buyer's wants and the seller's needs to get rid of it. Never seen a .357 or heard of one selling, although the Colt Catalog did list them in 1999.
There was also a "Magnum Carry" which was a different gun but very similar which came in .357 only. These are not often seen as only a few were made also.

IF your talking about a DS second issue, NEW in box, which is hard to find, around 300.00, the first issue is another story.

If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

Thanks guys! Someone has hinted about selling one and it sounds very tempting. I just love snubbies.
