SPEAK OUT<br />
Continued from page 22<br />
to either the Colt Government Model<br />
45 or the S&W Model 59 You<br />
probably think that I should start out<br />
with a revolver for my first handgun<br />
Revolvers are a bit safer, but I have<br />
Just as much experience with<br />
automatics as revolvers. Now back to<br />
the issue.<br />
I would like you to compare the<br />
Colt and S&W 111 reliability, safety<br />
features, stopping power, etc. The<br />
gun will be used mainly for home<br />
defense. since I stay alone at night. I<br />
know the S&W costs a bit more than<br />
the Colt, but cost isn't a factor since<br />
I'll be payll1g for the gun. I would<br />
appreciate your help<br />
I have one more problem that I<br />
thll1k you can help me with My<br />
mother owns a fairly old Colt. 38<br />
Super The pistol has"Colt 38<br />
Super" stamped on the slide and<br />
doesn't say Government Model. From<br />
my understanding, the new Colt 38<br />
Supers have Colt MK IV / Senes 70<br />
Government Model stamped on the<br />
slide. Can you estimate the age of<br />
thiS gun, if It has any collector value.<br />
or If Its value will II1crease with age?<br />
The senal number is 111 the 36,000s<br />
Your help Will be greatly<br />
appreciated.<br />
PS I'm not a hot-headed 16-year-old<br />
still 111 the cowboy and Indian stage<br />
Please take my letter seriously Keep<br />
WP the good work.<br />

Editor's note: We do take your .<br />
letter seriously, Wayne, and<br />
commend you for your<br />
intelligence in the points you<br />
raised. Both Colt and Smith<br />
autos are excellent guns. It's a<br />
matter of individual preference<br />
as to which you should select.<br />
As to your Colt .38 Super, it was<br />
made prior to 1970 and should<br />
bring around $400 retail, in<br />
excellent condition. Good luck in<br />
your handgun pursuits! And<br />
thanks for your thoughtfLiI<br />
