COLT 1903 PISTOL

Post by Jr. » Mon Aug 05, 2019 5:27 pm

The Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless.
Production/Manufacture of this model started in 1903.
This is chambered in a .32 ACP Caliber and designed by John Browning.
The Pistol is Single-Action Blowback design.
Though it is called Hammerless, this Pistol has a Hammer, Which is concealed under the Slide.
This allows the Pistol to be carried and easily drawn from the pocket/holster.
It has an Eight Round Detachable Box Magazine.
I also have a spare Magazine with the Pistol.
The Pistol is very accurate and has minimal recoil.
It can easily be handled and fired using one hand only.
The Pistol came in Walnut Checkered Grips with Colt Silver Medallion.
I have spare (brand new) Mother of Pearl Grips with Colt Gold Medallion.
I also have a ‘Safariland Model 1090 Gun-Quick’ Shoulder Holster for it.
This product was designed and patented by John Bianchi.
I have complete accessories and Pocket Guide for the Holster.
The Holster is ambidextrous (I am a Lefty) and very suitable for a quick/fast draw.
It is very light and has an extra Magazine Pouch.
The Holster can be adjusted to hold just about any Pistol and is not made for Revolver's.
With a little practise it is very simple and effective to use.

The following Catridges are displayed in the photo.
1. Magtech – JHP (Jacketed Hollow Point) in 65 Grains.
2. Sellier & Bellot – FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) in 73 Grains.
3. Indian Ordinance Factory – FMJ (I am not sure on the Grains).

I also have a custom made Cartridge Belt in Distressed Leather for .32 ACP Cartridges.
The Belt holds 12 Cartridges on either side (total 24) and also has a Magazine Pouch.

Regards,
Jr.

I am sure the op wants to sell it.
To ride, to speak up, to shoot straight.

Friends,
Before this topic spirals into a direction,
Which is completely unintended by me.
The Pistol and other Accessories are not for sale.
The idea is to share/exchange images and information, Within the Group.
Will shortly post photos of all my Cartridge Belts.
Forgot to mention in my earlier Post,
The Pistol has a Grip Safety,
In addition to the One on the Slide.
Will also confirm Year of Manufacture,
I have forgotten the same,
As I had checked this several years earlier.

Regards,
Jr.

I'm looking to purchase an extra magazine for my Colt 1903. What would be a fair price for it. Based in Pune/ Mumbai.

Looks like some one has really got carried away while buffing the pistol before rebluing it. Or maybe its just the illusion created in the photograph. A very fine design never the less and my favorite but not the caliber its made in.

I had one of these in .380 which my Father bought new. Lovely little pistol. Sadly we are no longer allowed to own pistols in England. You are lucky.
