HISTORICIAL INFO about different issues:

The Detective Special, Fourth Issue

In 1973 Colt did the first major redesign of the Detective Special by changing the barrel to a new heavy version that added a shroud to cover the ejector rod and a long ramped front sight.  The old style narrow grips were changed to a new combat style that wrapped around the front and bottom of the frame and the trigger was now smooth instead of grooved.

This was the first Detective Special the factory rated for use with +P ammunition.  The gun was rated for "up to" 3000 rounds of +P at which point the gun was to be returned to Colt for inspection and possible frame replacement.

This is known as the Fourth Issue Series and was the last actual change in the design.  It was made from 1973 to 1986, when the Detective Special was officially discontinued for the first time.

The warranty does not cover:

  • Accidental damage (including magazine feed lips & damage from skirmishing).
  • Any routine maintenance required.
  • Any faults arising from misuse; this includes use of poor quality bbs, any internal damage caused by jammed BBs, overcharging batteries or using the incorrect battery or charger for the gun.
  • Any faults arising from using the wrong gas for temperature conditions, for example Tokyo Marui and other ABS guns must only use 144a gas when ambient temperatures are above 10 Degrees Centigrade.  In very hot conditions, i.e 25 degrees C and above, some pistols with metal slides must only use 144a gas (this is because gas pressure is increased with temprature). Every gas gun is different and you must check the gas you are using is correct.
