Saw this at a local shop for an excellent price a few weeks ago and pondered it. Walked in the other day and it was still there and couldn’t resist picking it up. Fired 100 rnds of magnums at the range right after. Super pleased. Only slight disappointment are the sights. They kept drifting while shooting. Kinda sucks to have to buy an after market set for a $1300 revolver. Cant wait to put a set of wood grips on it.

Has anyone been able to make the stock sights work half decent for them?

Here is an Anaconda 6” with Wilson Combat Rear & Front Sights. What do you think?

Alrighty, I've got another Colt question. SN comes back as a 1987 (first year production) Colt Delta Elite in 10mm. SN prefix of (DE) however indicates a blued gun. (DS) would be stainless. At eyes glance, clearly not blued, What in the world do I have here? Anyone familiar with these?

Please help me understand why this sp1 was sold for $16k? What's the deal with it? Curious to know about the hefty price tag and that's not including buyers premium 🤔

Hi yall. I recently inherited an old 1911 from my grandfather that said this 1911 was his father’s. I’m wondering if anyone would know when it would have been manufactured or the best way I could find out. The colt helpline couldn’t really give me an answer.

It is a Colt <ACE> .22 lr The serial # is 9768

I’m guess it’s somewhere between 1910s and 1940s but would love to know when it was actually from as a better guess of when my great grandfather would have gotten it.

Thank you so much for any help even if you don’t know!

Does anyone know much about the 1878 shotgun? Is there interest in these types on guns? I was told it might be worth 500 or 600 even as a paper weight.

Coming from a Taurus 605 I wanted an upgrade I really observed for scratches, usage and it all checked out well.. basically new . I’m in Los Angeles county got if for $700 grand total being $840

What do you see? what do you say?

Newest addition to the collection! 1911 classic government limited edition. Whatcha guys think?

Grandpa just gave me this colt 1908 .25 ACP it was made in 1911. Outside looks a little rough but inside is not too bad just cleaned it up a little bit. Do yall think it’s gonna explode and blow my fingers off? Or is it even worth to shoot such an old cool gun? Just seems fun.

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a Colt 1911 chambered in .38 Special wadcutter, and I haven’t seen many other 1911s in this caliber. I’d love to hear if anyone has information about this specific model. From what I understand, it might be an older competition pistol, but I’m not entirely sure.

Additionally, it came with a .22 conversion kit.

This is my first experience with the 1911 platform, so any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Evening Guys & Gals, I saw a Colt with delta 10mm on its slide today with a serial # DELXXXX, it was a black frame with black slide. After running this on Colt site it shows up as DElta 10mm from 1998. I know the first gen were discontinued in 1996 and 2nd gen production didn't start until 2009 so are these 1998 DEltas actual delta elite or some special edition? Does anyone have information or perhaps saw something like this before and chime in? I hope someone can clear my confusion here. Cheers

My grandfathers python from 1968 I photographed recently

Does anyone know a good place to get reproduction pearl grips for the post 66 (short square) detective special?

Good morning, I’m looking to purchase one of the newer 6 inch Colt Python’s but I’m seeing two different SKU numbers pop up. The SP6WTS appears to be consistently around $100 more and I’m unsure what the differences are. Anyone know?

Brought out my 1903 this morning for a decent fall photoshoot. This was my favorite shot from it. One of my absolute favorite handguns of all time.

How hard is the hammer on a Colt Junior supposed to be to cock ? Just acquired one in good shape; and the hammer is absurdly difficult to cock.

I’m looking for a Colt 1908 25.acp I’ve seen one for a bit over a thousand is that normal pricing does anyone have any websites I could check out or anything information any tips or do I just have to go gunstore to gunstore see if I find anything

I put in a non-expedited archive request for a commercial 1911 that I am fairly sure went to the Canadian military for ww1.

I submitted this back on the 1st week of May and so have gone over the 120-150 day estimated turnaround time. I submitted an expedited request for a SAA and got a call back with the results within a week, and hopefully the letter comes soon.

I have sent several email to the address on file, and have no response. I'm considering just re-submitting the order as an expedited but don't want to do that and then have my original finally come through.

Anyone else here have some experience with the non-expedited times? How close to 150 days do they actually stick?
