Happy 101st Birthday – This Old Colt Has Still Got It!



I recently was shown one of these and by God it was the nicest looking finish I've ever seen on any Firearm.

Hasten to mention though - It had been Deacted. Bloody shame.

Full Story...

Looking very good for an old lady.

Deacts :roll:

Wow, that must have taken some hours to achieve.

Stunning.

I wish mine looked that short

Wow.. that is beautiful...

Very very nice. But deact…..

The one in the link isn't a deact..

Well....here's my happy birthday present. The Missus bought it for me for my 60th that comes about in a couple weeks, along with achieving my Master's degree and finally retiring completely from the military. She said with those three milestones a new firearm was in order.

This is only my second Colt new in the box purchase. My first was a Colt government model way back in 1973 or so which I traded for a Marlin 39 .22 rifle after about a year. I lost out big-time on that trade!

Can't wait to take this to the range on my birthday. Not as pretty as the model shown in the first posting, but this'll do. One of my kids will be pretty happy with this one when I pass it along - but not for awhile!

Happy birthday to you rufrdr. party2 party2 party2

Nice present for sure, I wish you health and long life to use it.

Happy Birthday rufrdr....Thanks for showing us what a proper Pistol looks like.

I've kept a large box of 45 Brass a Mold and 45 Dies ready for the day they lift the ban.. smile2
