    All double action of course.


    Made in 1911. It is 113 years old. Damn.

    My Colt 1917 .45 acp. shoots pretty good for me. One of my buddies used it to pass his CCL. Think the guys scoring his target spent more time looking/holding the Colt than he did counting his score.

    Nice. My Colt 1917 is a pig. I think the bore is a bit shot out.

    My Colt didn't look all that good when I got it. Gave it to the gunsmith at Collectors Firearms and had it cleaned up and refinished. Think it had spent the last 20 years or so sitting on a shelf out in a shed. That smith cleaned up the action really well, and spent a lot of time making bringing it back into great shape. Some clown had blued the gun without completely removing the original finish. Looked like crap when I got it; looks pretty much new now - at least as good as it did when first sold.
