I have only owned one Colt. A four digit serial numbered 1911 that supposedly shipped to the US Navy. I bought it from a pilot in Viet Nam for $25 and was stolen from me in 1969, used in a crime where the perp was shot in the spine and paralyzed from the neck down. He was a friend of mine at the time and knew where the gun was. It was traced By the BATF to Cooks County Ill. and disappeared. Imagine that.
