My NRA Firearms Assembly book says that the only difference between the 32 and the 380 is the barrel and mag...They're interchangeable...

Yea, I know of what you speak. Why does life have to get in the way of our toys?

I also was told all I needed was another barrel and mag.
Please don't let the wife know that, or I may never get to buy another gun.

Bought a book about COLT from B&N this afternoon. Just finished reading it. It did not answer my question on 1903 variations, but at least I knew where did the name "Colt Walker" come from now

It has a chapter on how COLT making pistols in 1940. Visitor (gun lover, of course) recorded what he saw in the Hartford factory. Lots of fun in reading!

For that answer, and others, you need Colt Firearms 1860-1954 by James Serven.

(Or 1836 - 1954; that's the one Amazon shows)

Abe Books has them much cheaper -
