My first Colt Commando was purchased in October of 2010.

Looks like I purchased my first Colt M1917 (just slightly after the Victory) also in June of 2010.

I didn't purchase my first S&W M1917 until 2011, and it was a mismatched grips/refinished Brazilian M1937 example of which I no longer own.

So I have had the U.S. WWI and WWII military revolver "bug" for about 10 years now!

I wish I was there to be able to have as much WW1 and WW2 revolvers as I want.
If tomorrow the government decides people aren’t allow to own an handgun, or if they decide I’m not allowed anymore to have it, I will have to give it to the police...
And I would like to shoot a .45acp revolver too, as I don’t like pistol.
The only M1917 S&W Brazilian contract I saw for sale one day cost $1,100.
