A classmate of mine is finally getting into the interest of shooting, her grandfather passed away leaving her a pear-handeled Colt .25 auto. She wasn't too great with the details but I was able to determine at best it's a Colt Pocket-Vest .25 auto of some sort. She knows it's a Colt, says so on the side as she says. She knows it's a .25, says so on the side. And she says it's real small. Now I have some experience taking down 1911s, Browning Clones, and such looking them over. Since I'm sort of the "Gun Guy" on campus after I took about a dozen girls to the range near campus for a day of practice shooting, she came to me and wants me to teach her how to shoot it.
Okay I tried telling her that the .25 auto is an incredibly weak round and that the gun was probably a collectible, she said it was really really old <holds temple in pain as I remember her speaking> and she thought it was really really cute, yes women in law school talk like this. Still it's the only gun she really likes and has fond memories of her grandfather, so this is like doing a nice thing for someone whose grandfather has died.
Can anyone point me to a link for a website that has a manual or take down and reassembly instructions for old Cotl semi's 25's in particular, it'd be appreciated. The next week me and a few classmates from school (whom are recent gun owners thanks to yours truly) and if she has a good experience shooting her grandpas Colt, we might have another convert to the fold. I just want to make sure the pistol is a safe shooter and doesn't have any major malfunctions that couldn't be easily detected. Again thanks ahead of time.
