Colt's SF-VI is a small-frame double-action revolver in .38 Special, and this one, serial SV4907, was made in 1996 with a 2-inch barrel. The finish is in excellent condition, the bore is bright with excellent rifling, and the rubber grips with their silver Colt medallion are also excellent. The original box comes with it.

A snub-nosed Colt in this condition pulls two kinds of buyer. The first wants a compact .38 for concealed carry or a nightstand and gets a double-action revolver with a 2-inch barrel and rubber grips that fit the role. The second collects 1990s Colt double actions, for whom an SF-VI with its original box and near-unmarked finish is the point. Either way, the supplier's grading suggests the gun has seen little use.
