colt commando

kikokat , I have # 1066X . It was in a lot ( so I've been told ) of 500 pistols that were to go to the military , but at the last minute transfered to the Treasury Dept / Secret Service / FBI type people . Was yours in that lot ?

Whoops , brain fart . That was my 2-inch Victory model that went to the Justice Dept. My 2-inch Colt ended up in Washington being carried by a military courier around DC . My Victory did the same duty , but on the civilian side . I wonder if they ever passed each other during then ? I also have a Colt 1903 that was issued to and carried by a military doctor in DC. He never could figure out why he had it as he was never going to shoot anyone , but orders were orders , so he carried it in a pocket in his briefcase / medical bag . It , too , could have passed by the other two during that time. Funny how they all ended up in Yuma.

kikokat, those are beautiful.

What branches of services might have used these? I didn't know that they were actually issued. I have DS that looks very much like the 2" Commando. It was made in 64 though and it has a rounded stock at the bottom, not squared like this. And it's blued. But otherwise there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of difference. Which is kind of neat. I wonder what kind of holsters would've been used for people carrying these?
