Wow, that's a nice pistol.
I always wanted one of those, but a decent one never surfaced in my area. Thanks for sharing. Douglas |

Rich: Yes, my magazine does have the "hump" and locks in very tightly. I generally agree about aftermarket magazines. I have a few for both my 1902 and 1905 Military Models and quality and reliability is not comparable to original magazines

Hi Padredan: very nice Pocket Model 1903. My PM 1903 is a British-proofed 1915 production pistol that was probably an officer's private purchase. It doesn't have much finish remaining and probably saw much action but still functions flawlessy.

You gotta love these early Colts...
A few years back I had the chance to get one, also refinished, but the seller was asking too much for a reblued 1902. |
