So this is the wrong place to ask when someone’s on the fence...... but I dropped by my local shop because I hadn’t made the trip in a while annndddd
Boy oh boy, I just handled a Nickel Colt 1908 in .380 auto and I just fell in love with it. I’ve got a 1903 in .32 and have been looking for a mate and this one just fell outta the sky. I dated the serial to about 1920. I already have a nice leather holster and if I pull the trigger (Haha) I plan to carry and shoot a bit just because I hate safe queens.
There’s a few cons though. I took it down right on the counter and the recoil spring and plunger were put in backward. That’s just a Wolff spring and back in business. The Mag is for sure a repro but it fits and is silver too. The finish is iffy in a couple spots but it’s still good. Price was marked $495. I’m probably going to do a trade but tell me what ya’ll think.
