Important message
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts Bin" forums, not in these forums.
If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the Ammo forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

A Colt, 19 and 50...

The Feds were kind enough to let me bring it home today.

1950 Colt's .45 Gubmint Model, great old Colt blue job (there isn't anything wrong with the bluing, its the reflection of the porch ceiling:-). Minor blue wear on the bottom front of the slide, fine line of wear on the tip of the dust cover (pics makes it look much worse than it is) and of course, the preverbal idiot scratch beneath the slide stop.

Pics not showing, gunpix.com does not respond.

And who are you calling an idiot????? No, mine does not have that scratch, not now anyway. But it's on its third reblue, so you can't see it anymore, neither can you see the scratch above the slide stop notch on the slide. But they've been there all right!

LoL
