Let`s see your Colts

[bgrafsr]

Here is my 2nd generation SAA, which was originally in .357 Magnum. I had it changed to .45 Colt by John Kopec of California. In retrospect, I should have left the gun in its original configuration, as the SN is 35729SA. I also fit and installed a 1st generation hammer by using a 2nd generation firing pin.

Ive got a few

This was my dads, he bought it new

New frontier 44spl I dont think it was fired outside the factory. Its got all the stuff but the hang tag. Its seems that this model is often found NIB...

Bankers spl, Ive shown this pic ALOT you guys are probably tired of seeing it...

This is a tired Cobra that I carry often. Its posed with a cap pistol

Very nice Defective Special, missing the knob on the extractor. The blue is so nice on this.

Police positive spl, not much blue on it. Has some stampings removed from the backstrap, may have been a department gun?.

Last but no least, my only 1911. Its an odd duck and was a flop by most accounts. Its a Combat Target, its almost a gold cup, but not quite. Its got a bead blast finish that always looks dirty.

I only have one, actually I bought it for my wife. I prefer Smith's and Winchester's, don't get me wrong, I have been known to sneak it out of the house and take it to the range.

There are some great Colts here.

I have a few, and the free-wheeling lack of focus shows I am even less disciplined as a Colt collector than I am as a collector of S&Ws. If I see something and like it, I will try to get it. As with Smiths, I prefer guns over a half-century old.

Three semi-autos: a 1940 First Model Woodsman , a 1949 Second Model Match Target, and one of the last M1908s; the last is a U.S. Property general officers model issued to AF Brigadier General Clarence Irvine.

Some revolvers, earliest first: a .32 New Pocket from 1897, about 90-95%; one of the first Officers Model revolvers, a New Army & Navy with adjustable sights (1904); a nearly new 1917; an uncommon Greek Army Contract revolver (Army Special, 4.5" barrel, smooth wooden stocks and Greek stampings) from 1916; two Commandos from WWII (probably 1943 for both); and an Official Police converted for target work in the LAPD manner (angle-cut grip frame and Blackford stocks, fixed sights with low-profile barrel rib, modest bling factor with jeweled hammer and trigger).

There are a few others, some kind of undistinguished and others at least a little interesting, but these are the ones I love this morning.

WC 145 The Peacekeeper is just a very very plain Colt Trooper MK V.

It was given to me. It is a sturdy revolver and a good shooter.

 

[ladder13]

Mostly auto's but I like the dick special most of all.

WC 145 The Peacekeeper is just a very very plain Colt Trooper MK V.

I know, but they've always appealed to me. Maybe because when they came out I was a USAF SP, back then we were nicknamed Peace Keepers.

BearBio,

Is the "DS from Lockheed skunk works" marked in any way to indicate it's affiliation with Lockheed?

 

[David LaPell]

I only have one right now, grand dad's Woodsman, but I do have an early .45 Colt New Service commercial model on layaway.

 

[427mach1]

I only have one, this 1951 second series Woodsman. It belonged to my grandfather and he taught my mom how to shoot; they set up a shooting range in their basement!

Yes= I bought it from Pony Express Sports Shop in Van Nuys, about 5 miles from Lockheed in Burbank. They were disposing of Police Positives and DS's from the security guards. As you may or may not know, the "Skunk Works" was over the hill in Lancaster/Palmdale and the security force was sorta paramilitary.

It is marked "LAC" =Lockheed Air Corporation and has a inventory number. Don't know if this will turn out.

 

[loutent]

I only have these 2 - would really like to have a snake someday.

This Match Target is ca.1957 - was my dads (need to take better pictures of it):

and this fairly new 1911:

That's pretty cool! I've worked for LM for 26+ years, that's why I was asking. BTW, the Skunk Works is still around!
