I recently obtained (this afternoon) this older Colt revolver from a local gun store. It is a Colt Officer's Model 38 Heavy Barrel, and I was told it is a 3rd edition (I have no idea). The counter guy said it was chambered in .38 Long Colt, but I don't think so. I think it's a .38 Special. I hope so, so I don't have to reload yet another caliber. But I can do it if I have to.
The revolver has King front and rear sights and a King Cockeyed hammer. I read that it may have also had a trigger job and other internal modifications for bullseye shooting. It's a bit worn in spots and has a few scratches but the trigger feels really nice! It needs a good cleaning, the cylinder is filthy and hasn't been scrubbed in years. The rifling looks very good. The grips are sharp with no chips or cracks. The cylinder locks up nice. There is a pretty good wear line in the finish on the cylinder.
