I've been wasting time away on here and a few other forums, looking at photos and such, and I remembered my wannabe love affair with the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless. I know US Armament Corp did a run for Colt, and that got me curious about em; sadly I can't really find much about the guns themselves.
I know the '03 was in .32 Auto, the '08 was in .380, both were issued to US military officers, and both were used by several famous criminals. I also know that the .32 is supposed to be super-duper reliable, like... more reliable than Glock reliable; and the .380... basically isn't.
Is there any particular design details that stand out as revolutionary, any reason for the supposed awe-inspiring reliability ? There's *got* to be more to these neat little guns than my paragraph summary above.
As always, thank y'all in advance.
