I'm a huge fan of the old Colt Pocket Models; I'm also one of those nuts that likes to take the old shooters that need a little 'prettying up' and give'em a new lease on life, be it for plinking, the range, the safe, or even carry in a pinch. Talked the OP here into letting loose his shooter .32, 1912 production, to go along with my 1913 .380. It's in the background of the pics, with the .32 in the foreground. My .380 was in similar shape cosmetically, but with a lot of patience and a bit of determination I've found these clean up very nicely in the home shop. Hope to have the .32 looking more like the current condition of the .380 in the next few weeks, and it's an excellent shooter either way.
Thanks again to Ozark Marine for the new project!
