148 years apart, oldest to newest. 7 different calibers, I like Colts. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/jbmich/Colts/002_zps3e6ad95b.jpg) Beautiful!

Me too. Picked this one up dirt cheap as it had been hard chromed. Smooth as glass, dead tight on lock up and wonderfully accurate. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/20140718_185355_zpsaccd0d81.jpg)

Colts aren't worth spit unless you shoot something with them... 4 inch nickel Python... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/birds/120_3039_zps760fa294.jpg) Colt 357 Pre-Trooper... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/birds/112_1726.jpg)

I have taken squirrels with the Match Target around the place in Idaho, I just don't take pictures of everything I shoot.

Only have one photo of one of my Colt's, and it's a semi-crappy cell phone pic. Took a 100 year anniversary 1991 in .38 super, Nitre blued various parts, swapped out the plastic, added elephant ivory grips with Colt's medallions. I didn't like the 3 dot sights so I made a new rear sight for it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i132/k3030ai/IMG_0282_zps1beba129.jpg) Here's a cell phone pic of the home made rear sight ![[Linked Image]](http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i132/k3030ai/photo1_zps626d40c6.jpg)

Texas Colts: Gunfighter's rig: Army Special 32WCF: ![[Linked Image]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x157/hhclark/Colts/ColtArmySpl32WCF.jpg) Officers Model Target: ![[Linked Image]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x157/hhclark/ColtOMT-L.jpg) For just the pure joy of shooting, those .32 target revolvers are just magnificent!! Had a .32 Long Police Positive for a short time. Picked up an RCBS 98 grain full wadcutter mold, and used that bullet over about 2 grains of Bullseye...what an absolute joy to shoot. Light recoil, very well balanced revolver for such a petit gun, and OMG did she shoot. Just little ragged one hole groups all day long. Pretty much everyone who picked that revolver up turned in their best groups of the day. The .32 WCF's just took off where the Long left and made the .32 much more practical. My grandfather drove armored cars for Loomis back in the '30's and his choice was a S&W in .32-20. He liked it because he was just uber-confident with his. He said he could hit a beer bottle at 100 yards all day long, and he pretty much could. One day I'm at church and a gentleman who was about 20 years older than I started telling me about his dad's .32 Police Positive. Seems his dad was LE for the railroad from the mid '30's to sometime around 1960, and he carried a .32 Long Police Positive. Sometime around the '80's one of his grand kids stole his revolver to buy drugs and he always wanted to replace that revolver. I ended up selling my PP and the dies for about $50.00 less than what I had into it, with the condition that I get to be there when he gives it to dad. It was worth the $50.00 price of admission. I always figured I'd just get another and I didn't get around to it I seriously need to get around to it some day.

Had 6 of those 1878 SxS actions with buttstocks and forends but no barrels come in at the shop one day. They'd been in a basement that flooded and were all rusty and the wood was swollen and moldy. I think the guy that brought them in just gave them to us. We parted them out and sold off the bits and pieces for a penance but I did keep a buttplate for my collection.
Why the guy had 6 of them and where the barrels went I'll probably never know. The things you see in a gunshop.
