Trying to find out the width of a Colt 1903. Could locate many dimensions but can't find the width. Anybody know the answer?

I'll check when I get home in a few hours if someone hasn't beaten me to the punch by then. You just want the width? At the slide or at the grips?

Thanks for the data on the width. Sig Forum is the "higher education forum" for individuals learning about firearms.

Yep, 3/4" wide at the slide, 1" at the grip.
