1971 Colt Lightweight .38 Super Combat Commander that came home with me today...... When I got home from my (who was to have been) my future father-in-law's funeral in Colombia last night there was a phone message waiting for me...from my friendly gun shop.

I just had to buy it; a 1971 Colt Lightweight Combat Commander in .38 Super...not a lot of those around...

I can see I didn't get all the excess oil wiped off from cleaning it though...

But not this one; I just need a 9mm Combat Commander to complete the trilogy. I have a 1970 Combat Commander .45 already.
