My Favorite Colt

A nice video on one of my favorite Colt DA wheelies.



I've been carrying one lately.

Very nice! What vintage is yours, Gary?

 

[gerhard1]

I actually have several, ranging from 1955 (that one has a tropical finish, and a factory lanyard loop, and is in 38 S&W) from the Royal Hong Kong Police; I have a 32 Colt NP vintage 1958, that has an action so smooth it will put a Python to shame, and one from 1965 also in 32 Colt NP that is still literally NIB. And a few of later vintage in 38 Special.

That looks nice!!! Congratulations. I like the grips, too. I have thought of getting some ivory grips inlaid with a black scorpion. That's the symbol of my astrological sign--Scorpio.
