I got to shoot a really nice old Colt today. It belongs to my old partner. It was his grandfather's carry gun in Laredo and Nuevo Laredo back in the day. It's a Super 38 Match, the Colt website dates the serial number to 1935. The grips appear to be mother of pearl with Gold inlay. It shoots pretty darn well for an 80 year old gun.

Superb.
That's a sweet 1911!

Here is another old 1930's Colt. This is a Buenos Aires Police (and later Federal Police) Commercial Colt 1911 from 1933. It was restored into a "Vintage Custom" by JT Timmons at Timmons Precision Weapons. Pictures do not do it justice. It is flat stunning.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.
