Well now, 1917 Colt revolver in my sights

[imarangemaster]

The saga of working at the local gunshop continues. An original Colt Model 1917 martial marked .45 ACP/half moon clip revolver came in the door on possible consignment. Original finish 40% or so, no pitting, lanyard ring intact and grips intact except for small chips out of the front bottom corners... Looks mostly like holster wear and some hard use.

It has my name on it if the owner decides to sell. I already load .45 ACP for my 1911A1, so this will be a hoot to shoot! I'll take some pics if I put it in Commiefornia 10 day jail. A 1917 Colt or S&W .45 ACP has been on my short list for awhile. He has a S&W too, but it has been buffed and re-blued, and is missing the hammer spring. I like the Colt with its honest wear better.
