New Addition: 1903 Colt Pocket Pistol

Post by i8godzilla »

We just acquired a new pistol. The trigger has a lot of take-up but is otherwise smooth. The bluing is about 95% and there is some slight pitting on the exterior of the barrel. The S/N puts the manufacturing in the 1940s I believe--doing more research on it. Overall, it is a good looking gun that is fun to shoot. Not much stopping power in a .32, however, I think my better half wants an option to her bulky XDsc.

Forgive the picture as my cellphone lowers the resolution when I send it via picture mail. That, and I am not a very good photographer.

I've always liked those, although I think I'd prefer a .380. Slick as a bar of soap, but flatter.
Let's see ... night sights, cleaned-up trigger, slightly extended safety ... hmmm
