If you go to, colt serial numbers, Double action, Detective Special, you will see that your friends piece was manufactured in 1961. I rebuild and customize colt DA revolvers. Im going to try to give you what little knowledge that I have. Here is the whole list of DS grips at midway. but I wouldn't recommend it for pocket carry. ![]() Between the size, and the tacky rubber, it's great for my big hands. The Hogue grip has a great feel to it, but it is fairly large. I'm not sure if there was actually a change made in '66. I can check my SN this afternoon to see when it was made, but the butt is square. "Hogue correctly states this grip will fit all post-1966 manufacture DS's (with the shortened butt) and the later SF-VI & DSII models." "Please note: Conversion grips convert a round butt frame to a square butt feel or vice versa." I take it your Colt is a newer model since you have the Hogue grips? ThIanks SKE, I guess I will order the top grips from Pachmyr. I think these are the ones I have on mine. According to this site, the gun was made in 1961.
