1910 Browning
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.
