The 25-5 .45 Colt was a regular catalog item, and many were used as carry guns at various departments all around the country. The 26-1 .45 Colt "Kit Gun", is a special makeup done exclusively for GT Distributors. They used them as the basis for the GSP Commemorative, of which a small amount were leftover and not made into commemoratives.
