Default New Pair 'o' Colts

Went to the gun shop to buy some targets this morning and there was a package waiting for me; from a member of another gun forum:



Colt 1908 M .380, made in 1912







Colt Single Action Army 2nd Generation, made in 1962. Chambered in .357 Magnum; interesting serial number

for what I paid for both I should be arrested for theft!

That revolver makes me drool. Add me to the resell list if you ever decide to sell it?

I love Colts... and yours are magnificent. I truly lust after your semi-auto... WOW... wished I had it!

I have twelve SA Colts now... but here are two of my Frontier Six Shooters (.44 WCF... or 44-40 to you modern day folks), the Ivory-Handles ... and six .45LC Peacemakers.

Nice acquisition, I had one of the little General Officer 03 once, it had white stocks with streaks of red and blue, and were Colt factory. Never saw another like that...is that your only example of the Willie Sutton special, or do you collect them?

The SAA is fantastic-that right there is one you won't mind carrying one bit.

I like the 380 Automatic too...

Ain't it nice to get packages like that?

Sir, I am in the beginning throes of Colt SAA lust and I wonder if you just had one, what caliber would it be? I was thinking .44 since I already have a .44 mag so reloading wouldn`t require much more than getting .44 spec cases, but I never have had a .45LC, although I do have a .45 ACP. I`m sorry if this rambling post is too goofy , just trying to figure out which SAA to get.
Thanks, JACK

Mister... you have a real, strong user-name... I met that great, four-eyed fella one time.

Your first Colt purchase... you need to get an 1873... Colt Single Action Army .45LC... the Peacemaker. Remember... the Frontier Six Shooter (.44 WCF) was only introduced in 1877 in response to them cowboys needin' to carry the very same cartridge... for both their Winchesters... and Colts.

After you get that first, magnificent .45LC SAA... then you just add to the experience.

Hope this helps out....

I removed the stocks; they are numbered to the gun. Also, on the right side grip frame, electro-penciled is the name and date Bill Mayo 1964.
