r/Colt

My easy to carry Colt King Cobra and other accoutrements

What’s the thoughts on this pistol a relative has? s# is correct 1929 the engraving looks like a factory finish after engraving. Bore is clean and timing is spot on. I should have taken pictures in better lighting but it is what it is.

This walked itself into the gun shop I work at to be put on consignment from the daughter of the original owner. I knew the minute I opened the box I was buying it.

Colt Ace in 22lr made in 1934 with original serial number matching box, accessories, and paperwork. I'd rate it somewhere around 98% condition as there is slight wear here and there. I will be getting a colt factory letter for it. Currently undecided if I'll shoot this one day or not.

Had this built by Nighthawk for my oldest son to provide him with a workhorse that will last his lifetime (and his children’s, and their children’s)

This was in the back storage at the gun shop I work at. The current owner said it came with the store from the old owner who was in business for around 15 ish years. I'm assuming this was some old sales rep merch or something along those lines?

Walked into a store and stumbled upon one of my holy grails. A birth year (1979) Colt Single Action Army. It’s 357 but I’ll forgive that. I can hardly believe it was just there waiting for me.

Here is my 1954 Cobra Special. It was police issued and in the 60’s was bobbed and changed to DAO to follow new regulations for that specific police department. It was refinished and rebarreled in the 90’s with a Cobra barrel. Not as fancy as my Python but it’s still my favorite revolver

I just picked this girl up for 200 beans. Wondering if I did good and what it's worth

Given to me by my father after completing BCT a few years back. It was purchased by him many many years ago. It’s never been fired. In fact, it still has the cardboard barrel insert/plastic protector cap for the flash hider that it shipped with. I did, however, take the parachutists bag out of its plastic packaging so I can keep it safe & padded up. He bought that with or around the same time as the rifle.
He swears that he has the bayonet somewhere. Whether that was bought with this piece in a package deal, or if it’s a generic poker, I’m not sure.

It’s the greatest gift I’ve ever received, & my most prized possession. I know these are purpose built items- but I’ll never fire this. To me, it’s a perfect time capsule/representation of the man he was when he was my age. I’ve owned this for a few years but never posted it anywhere. I didn’t really understand the appreciation for these rifles until I started looking to purchase an AR ‘of my own’ & looked this one up.

I recently went out & bought a much cheaper AR to shoot, which I’ll be taking him to come fire with me in a few weeks.

Thanks a million, Dad.

Just picked this up and am excited to get out there Tuesday and give it some trigger time. I have had a lot of guns over the years and think its a beauty. I am a revolver fan so this lit all the right buttons

Can I assume that kydex iwb for say a Charter arms 6 shot might work for this gun if I ever decided to carry it. I cant seem to find Kydex specifically for this model.

Modern Colt & modern Smith. Both American made iron🤙🏼

I’m asked all the time is the bluing the same on the new Pythons. I’ve told everyone that the vintage Pythons that I own, their bluing is a LITTLE deeper. I have 2 modern blued Pythons and their blue is amazing, but just a LITTLE less amazing than the vintage ones I own. Hard for it to show in pictures, but I tried. The first picture is my 1966 Python. The second picture is the Python I bought in 2025 new. In the following pics, the vintage is without grips.

I have this gun for quite a long time, over the years I’ve been trying to find the service history of this double digit S/N59 M1892. The gun itself is in good operational condition, with mostly matching assembly number except the cylinder.

Since this is the very first batch that was delivered to the Army in 1892, this gun was likely used in US Spanish war and the Philippines war. Beyond that I wasn’t able to find which troops this gun was issued to.

As far as I know, the lowest S/N searchable on the internet was around 70s, so this gun would effectively be the oldest surviving example in private collections even though it had the safety block modification done.

If anyone knows how or can help me search the service and issue history of this gun, I would greatly appreciated

Thank you

Anyone know what I have here? Father in law passed away and left this to my wife. Figured one of you would know the basics

Looking for any information possible on this Colt Anaconda 44 or where I can get any more from thanks in advance I really don’t even know the value either I won this at a Ducks unlimited banquet
