1919 Colt 45 Auto
1Some differences from current models. No finger cut-outs behind the trigger. The Colt is stamped in the middle of the slide, not at the hammer end. GI sights too small? Try to use these itty-bitties. What happens when we put the web of our thumb too close to the hammer?
I won't get to the range until the Texas meeting this Sunday to see how it does. I wonder about the rifling. I ran some chore Boy through it and cleaned the grooves as good as they can get. The rifling seems faint at the throat end and becomes more pronounced the length of the barrel. Grooves are crisp and deep by the muzzle end. Is that wear or some design?
I hope that smell fades fast.
Puffing up is no substitute for smarts but it's a common home remedy
