I dont know why, but I love these old Colts

Your gun was actually a common "gangster" pocket gun. Lots of the famous ones had one on them all the time.. There was a famous Army General that carried one throughout WWII. The name escapes me right now.

I'm curious where you came across it. I have been looking for one. I don't want a safe queen or one to just look at. I want a shooter.

Patton frequently carried one. They were actually issued to general officers. John Dillinger had one on him when he was gunned down in Chicago.

I thought I saw one at Roby's Bullseye (proly the one the OP bought).
I'll swing by on the way to work and see if it's still there

Believe I saw one at Premier in Brownsburg last week when I stopped in.

Have one that is a family earloom, was my great grandfathers. I actually took it out a few months ago and ran about 30 rounds through it. It's a fun little gun, very low recoil, crip trigger, but I had quite a few FTF/stove pipes with both the original mag and after market mag. Mainly the 1st or 2nd round in the mag. (A real pain to break down, clean and reassemble).
