Stopped into the local “old school” gun shop today and this happened....

Most beautiful pistol ever designed, IMHO. Always wanted one.

That last pic is now the wallpaper on my phone. Smile

Damn. With a SN like that you pretend that JMB himself worked on it.

WOW! I have been fortunate enough to handle an early 4 digit serial but it did not follow me home.
A little later I did score this nice early one.
Shoots like a dream.

Neat pistols - classics indeed! I have one from 1931 that still makes it to the range occasionally.
Thanks for you post and great pics,

Jerry

Beautiful gun. I'm not much for the smaller calibers, but I want one of those.


What, me worry?

This little thing just looks great from whichever angle!


Probably going to have to consider this pretty high up in my list of “cool” guns. Not “collectible” or “valuable” but just “cool”. I’m really thinking about getting a Colt letter for it.

Cause you just know that somewhere back there in 1903, there was a guy going back and forth about whether or not being an early adopter of the “newfangled “self loading” pistol was a good idea....

Do---or do not.
There is no try.

My grandfather on my Mom's side was a banker. He carried that same pistol, made around 1917 or so. I still shoot it occasionally---great pistol.

I have a small collection of these. My earliest one is a 1905. They are amazing little pistols. So accurate, and they seem to never malfunction. I shoot them often because they are so fun to play with.

Nice. I think my 1903 is from 1937. Still runs perfectly.
