Killer Clones From Overseas

[joab]

Collection is taking a new twist. I've decided to collect the Colt progression of military firearms. Have to do it with clones though cause I ain'trich enough to go authentic
So the question is What am I missing ?

So the question is What am I missing ?

A list of what you already have, maybe?


Collecting military Colt's is going to be challenging...they started suppling various militaries around the world in what...1850 or so?

Hmmm, was the Patterson purchased by the military?
Colt revolving rifle.
Forget the name, but the 45 cal. swing out revolver of WW1.
Colt Officer's model .38, not combat, but used for target shooting.
Uh the .38 cal Revolver used in the Phillipines that led to the requirement for .45 cal.
How about the M16.
Gotta be more.
You're gonna be a poor man, with lots of guns.

Pilots in WW2 carried .38 revolvers. Probably some Colts.
How about the M16, M4

Dragoons, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Models

1861 Navy 36cal
1851 Navy 36cal (shown is a Rebel built w/brass frame. Colt never built a brass frame on thier revolvers )
5 1/2" SAA in 45cal Modified by Ordenance for the Phillipine Campaign
New service in 45acp WW1/WW2
1908? 32acp General Officer issue
Also a sholder stock for the 1860 would be nice. And don't forget all of the holsters,belts and other accessories! :what:

Just a short list from memory,sure I missed a few.

Top to bottom
list editted out because that's half the fun of the thread

was the Patterson purchased by the military? I think so. I'm pretty sure it was issued to the Texas Rangers which is reason enough to get one
Also editted because the Patterson was issued to the Republic of Texas army

[Crownvicman]

Also the Model 1909 revolver, the .38 Colt used in the Spanish-American war and the .38 Specials the Military bought during WWII.

[joab]

I'm going to limit it to standard U.S. issue sidearms, for now at least.

[oneshooter]

From what I have seen these are ALL standard issue. Remember that the Army,Navy,Air Force,and Marines all had procurment,and many times there was no standardization between services.

Joab,
Remember that half of the fun is in the finding!! :D

[joab]

Remember that half of the fun is in the finding!! I'm starting to believe that most of the fun is in the finding.
That's why I'm struggling to find some kind of theme, other than "Oh that looks cool".

does the thread title remind anyone else of killer clowns from outerspace? :p
