Well, Mine isn't a Colt but rather similiar...I have a Browning 1910 in .380 ACP that belonged to my Father.
Dad ran a Swap Meet in a small town outside of Springfield a number of years ago. While on a buying trip at a local auction he placed a bid on a box sight unseen for $2.
When he got it home and looked through it amoungst other items he found an old towel in the bottom of the box that was saturated in axle grease. He unfolded it and found this 1910 Browning pistol in pieces.
It was missing the grips, the magazine was crushed like it had been ran over and all the pins were missing. He took it to the State Highway Patrol and they ran the numbers on it..it came back clean. The numbers on the frame, barrel and slide match.
After nearly a year of hunting I found all the missing parts and rebuilt the pistol for Dad.
Well Dad has since passed on and the pistol has came to be in my possesion now,it's a lot of fun to shoot for such a small framed pistol.

It has a real fondness for Winchester Silvertips and Fiocchi FMJ.
Nice looking Hardware guys!
I'm happy to see that I am not the only one with a Fetish for these little Pocket Pistols.

I'd pick a more modern gun for a BUG.

Among other issues, these guns are not drop safe.

Nice to own, but one should really rely on better guns if choosing one on purpose for SD.

Mine is one of the older guns that has the 1911 style barrel bushing.

I hate to tell stories of how I take guns from people, but it's relevant here. I've seen a lot of these old Colts on the streets in the ghetto in the hands of gangbangers. Last week we chased one down who had the Colt .32 semiautomatic with grip safety (wrapped in electrical tape) and one a couple weeks ago with a Colt .380 (a Mustang?). They were beautiful guns I would consider buying for myself to carry off-duty. It's sad to see them in the wrong hands knowing they were probably stolen from an older person/relative.

As sad as it is to hear stories like that..I would rather see any gun stolen from me confiscated by Law Enforcement Officers than in the hands of Thugs like that on the street.
