I bought one like yours back in the early 1960s; bought a box of factory ammo. I couldn't hit anything smaller than a barn and traded it off. The ammo was expensive too considering we got paid small beans back then!

I have noticed in the old 1930s gangster movies that Cagney, Robinson, Bogart and other small bad guys were carrying Colt 1903s or 1908s. Little Alan Ladd in "This Gun for Hire" did a lot of damage with a little Colt.
