I'm going to look it over again in the next few days. Not having handled any old Colts before gives me no reference as to what the trigger should feel like. I am gauging against newer guns of different makes/models. Maybe in my mind it being a 1957 model it would have been a heavy/grittier...

Wow that's a trick Norinco! Nice! Still wish I had bought one back in the day.

Year round swap between S&W 442 J Frame 38 +P HP or Taurus 24/7C Titanium 9mm +P HP. Crossbreed holster. Lots of bashing on Taurus but this one runs like a clock.

Nice find. If I get another 1911 the Ruger commander is top on my list. I see several people saying how they seem to get one... then another...and another... and. It is a fever! I am up to 13 and still looking. It's my favorite type of pistol. Colts, Springfields, AMTs, Detonics, Taurus...

Those J frames are pretty small. I carry a 442 with a Clark tuned action that I inherited from my dad. Shoots great, nice DA trigger, ultra light and compact. The grips you show with the built in belt clip I saw this weekend on a Performance Center Wyatt model too. I swapped my grips for Hogue...

Thanks JT and all the others for comments/opinions. I will say I tend to rate hard as to condition. 90% Metal, 75% Blue, 75% Grips. Bright shiney bore. I think I will ask about removing the grips to look inside, and prime up a few empty cases for test fire ignition. If the grips are only...

Plus and minus both ways really. Personally I have a good selection for self defense/CC so I got what I like. I just bought a new SP101 yesterday. Been wanting one for years and finally found a good deal so why not! I'm not sold on the plastic revolvers even though I have plastic frame autos...

Ok, assuming the owner will allow it, I'll just prime 6 used cases after enlarging the flash holes, test the gun then toss the brass. Better safe than cause a problem over 6 cases. That will take care of the functionality check. Just need to sort the other issues I had. More...

See you never know what you'll learn here. I guess auto loading pistols don't do it since the slide rests against the chambered round? I have some once fired empties I can deprime then drill the holes bigger. Guess I'd have to throw those away afterward or only use them for testing like this...

Interesting. I've never done this test so I wasn't aware the primer would back out. So enlarging the hole in the case will allow any pressure and flash from the primer to escape allowing the primer to stay in place?

The grips on this gun look like the wood grips on the gun you posted as far as a small round medalion with the colt pony/horse in it. The differences are, they appear to be plastic or hard rubber, black color, and they are round butt style. After thinking a little more, it may be possible they...

Thanks for the info guys. I'm sure I'll get all my answers between here and colt forum. I've only started collecting Colts in the last 3-4 years. I already have a DSII .38 snubbie, Mustang .380, Custom 1911 Stainless .45, Older Delta Elite 10mm (NIB), M4 Carbine MOE .556 and just picked up an M4...

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum as of today so I hope I'm posting in the right place. I'm looking at buying a Colt Police Positive in .38 special. It dates to 1957 by serial number 700xxx. I have a few concerns about it. First off it has black grips, either plastic or hard rubber, with Colt Pony...
