Some Old Colts

[nobearsyet]

I have never had anything but problems with any of the Colts I've ever owned, it seems as though I can pick one up and not even cock it and the mainspring breaks, you colt guys ever have that kind of a problem? And it doesn't matter if it's brand spankin new or a 100 years old either.

I have heard of that thru the i-net, although never experienced it. Mainly i-net storys as far as I know.

Read a bunch of stuff on i-net about dont run meztler tires on harleys, but 70% of harleys I see run them and all I talk to at the rallys (hard core riders) love them. Put them on mine and love them as well.

I shoot the 1st and 2nd gen more than any, and a couple 3rds a lot, mainly in cowboy action stuff, never ran into a problem.

Did have a 3rd that had the bolt spring broke when I bought it as a used gun, but who knows how that happened. Could been spring problem or could been shade-tree gunsmith.

Sorry for late response, been travelling and company doesnt like us using co. computer for personal use. Back home now!!

I will see what other photos I can dig up.

WOW! I'm jealous! That is a beautiful collection You have there. I really like the Colt checkered grips in the second pic.

I have never had a problem with mine and didn't know anyone else did until the internet came along. Thankfully my old Colt doesn't surf the web.

Really like the Colt Colors on this 1927 Short Barrel 45
