As my wife says...Gun Porn!

Yesterday I took 50 rounds and my Rock Island model 206 .38 special to the range. I hadn't shot it much and thought I should get serious about it.
On this target I shot 12 rounds center-mass at 5 yards. I shot in quick succession -BAMBAM - BAMBAM - BAMBAM 11 shots good, one grazed the arm.
Then I shot 8 rounds at the head, cocking the hammer and aiming. I was ok with the results, and the gun felt really good. Bought it on sale at Dunham's a while ago - very economical - and I like it alot. I think it would make a good little carry gun

I was not familiar with the Colt Detective Special, so I looked it up.
Very very close, but different in some ways internally.
I'm sure the action on the Colt is smoother, but shooting the Rock Island is not bad at all.
The only thing I don't really like is the matte finish on the metal - the blued finish on the Colt seems much superior.
It came with wood grips also, but I prefer the synthetic grips.

Imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery....
