I though I would start off by sharing a picture of my newest Colt, a hardchromed Special Combat Government chambered in Super .38.
I just got my Lyman molds (120gr truncated cone). They drop at 125gr from water quenched wheel weights and sized to .355 (bore slugged to .3535). Review coming.

Bea, many years ago I had a Colt Gov. in .38 Super. Sold it or traded it, don't remember. I was a 70's series if I remember correctly. It was nice. Probably be worth a little now. Wish I still had it. Nice weapon you have !
