No... John Browning that is... Something must be wrong with my camera... cuz that bullet doesn't look like 230grns. :confused: ;)

"Patented AUG 25, 1896, APR 20 1897, DEC 22 1903, JAN 25 1910"

I thought you hogs would enjoy some good gun/knife porn on a Friday night. ;)

The Colt isn't the most accurate pistol I own, but damn this thing is tiny. Even smaller than the Kel-tec .32's. Hell it makes the Cultie look like an SFNO (or maybe not)...!!!

Ya gotta love the 'Rampant Stallion' :thumbup:

Let's drink! :D

32 or 25?

I've got a 1908 that I absolutely love. You drop the slide and there is a bank-vault-door sound of CLUNK. Not Clinkeltinklering like a stock 1911. CLUNK. No reverberation at all. Just like a high-end 1911 race gun locks up. WOW! Esp. for a gun that's almost 100 yrs old. (Mine was made in 1911.)

Those old skinny guns are the best. As you said, not real accurate, but fun.
 
I've got a 1903 and a 1908 and they're both tons of fun to shoot! Slender as all get out, would love to carry one...

Thanks for the pic!
 
Mine is a .25, which is unfortunate because I have little regard for the caliber. It is loaded with Glaser's but it mainly only protects the inside of the safe. ;) Still, it is ultra-concealable with its tiny frame.

I'll admit to being slightly paranoid about front pocket carry pistols because... well... you can go from a rooster to a hen in a very short time. :eek: The grip safety on this one is a bit comforting. :)

But you are right, they put a lot of workmanship into those little pistols. Everything is fit perfectly. No CNC back then. No doubt it would be too costly to produce nowdays...but I'd love a similar pistol in a larger caliber. :thumbup:
 
380 is about as big as you are gonna get. You could look for a pre-1911 45, but that's gonna cost you too.
