Of course it counts! Don't be ridiculous!

"Modern" seems to encompass all cartridge type guns. So, yeah, your's counts.

My New Service doesn't have a bobbed hammer and is in 41 Colt. Nice shooting; do you hand load?

I do hand load, but the ammunition used here was a commercial product.

I would like to see pictures of your .41 caliber New Service. I've not seen one before.

Thanks

Nice! Are those grips original?

Isn't there a senator in Mississippi who has been advocating making the definition of "antique" firearm a floating term of 100 years?

By that definition your revolver is nearing antique-ness.

OK, here is my '95 Colt in 41 Colt caliber, real stag grips.

Sweet, Mazo! Did you make the grips or buy them? (or did they come with the gun)?

Hi, the top one is a real Colt, but the bottom two shoot .45 Colt. Do they also count?

Regards,
Richard

I got the gun several years ago from a dealer in Texas. The grips were on the gun, so have no history.
