Let's See Some Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless .32

[30-30remchester]

I always wanted to put a set of good combat fixed sights and a good trigger job on one of these and just see how good they can be. The few I owned handled great and were easy to hit with even with the poor sights.

My Colts

Have owned several of the Colts. The 32 is a re blue the 380 gonna get range time tomorrow for my first time with it. Only had it about six years. The 25 is just a 25

 

[claudel]

Here's mine.

I put the Franzites on it so I can range it without worrying about cracking the 99 year old originals...

I also have a set of cheapo pearloids that I like even better because they're a bit fatter...

I need to take new pix...

I bought this one from a widow who said it had sat in her husband's sock drawer for over 50 years. When I first held it I was amazed, it looked prestine and maybe unfired. Unfortunately, when I turned it over the "down" side finish was ruined and it had some surface rust from sitting in that drawer, unoiled, for so many years. I sent it off and had it bead blasted and then parkerized in a gray/green finish. It is a regular shooter and rides in my boot pretty much anytime I'm on my Harley, it's very reliable and very accurate.

I like those grips!

Always wanted one. Just picked this up. Looks to be a 1932 refinish in excellent condition. It's going to the range today for the first time (with me at least).

Just got back from the range. Accurate and reliable.

I thought about getting one of the new ones, just too pricey for me. Hopefully they'll make some mags available that don't cost $100+.

This Type V model M is US Property marked, bright blue finished and virtually new in the
numbered kraft box with both magazines. As if that wasn't enough, this pistol was shipped in 1944 to
the OSS! For you young folks, the Office of Strategic Services was the US wartime intelligence agency,
and predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Here's one from 1909. It came of of a ranch in NE Washington that had been homesteaded in the late 1890's. It was well used and I don't think it had been cleaned since WW2.
It actually cleaned up well, it still tight and shoots well.

This is a very rare and very cool 1903. This Type I from 1906 letters with factory engraving
and Colt mother-of-pearl stocks. The engraving is attributed to Colt master engraver Cuno Helfricht.

O.k........You win!

Wow.

[Faulkner]

Colt Model M Pocket Pistol in .32 ACP manufactured in 1923 with original finish.

 

[fat tom]

This is a General Officer's Model with it's big brother.



And this is an early scratched up one that I love to show off. I really need to talk John out of that V.L.& A. holster to put it in. The basketweave Heiser with the mag pouch is beyond my means.





I've got a couple of blued ones around here somewhere,but apparently no pics that I can find.

f.t.

Just shot mine recently:

 

[boykinlp]

Great guns ALL!! And, as usual, John's holsters are amazing. I have never seen a Heiser Automobile Holster. I would like to see that one in action.

While you guys are on the subject of the little Colts, is there a quick guide to the different "types" ? Do the ones in .380 cal. also have "types" ?

 

[ElToro]

I've always wanted one. Probly won't buy one now a my collecting has moved in different directions

I have an old .32 colt magazine. If anybody needs to buy one PM me

 

[GUMPOND1]
