I studied, read, listened, then looked high and low and saved and scrimped to be able to own one.

Arrived this afternoon and for 32 years old it's in better condition than I even hoped for!

Guess one is never too old to get excited about a Colt, huh? :o

Here's a quick pic:

That is one beautiful pistol!

Are you going to shoot it or preserve it?

I doubt I'll break it in at the match.

That'll be a job for the trusty Commander. :cheers2:

btw: can I shoot my vintage Ted Williams 18" alley sweeper at the pistol/shotgun match?

It's the only scattergun I own.

Who didn't think their first Gold Cup was the most beautiful gun in the world? :cool:
