Sam Colt's birthday today.

Colt Sporting Revolving Shotgun. 5-shot 10 gauge. 1860-63.


Samuel Colt. Made men....and women...equal.

I think I have only three or four or five or six Colts. One rifle that is going to Camp Perry is a Colt. Python, Diamondback, Police Positive, 1903 Pocketmodel .32, 1903 Pocketmodel .380.....maybe that's it.

1814-1862.

I'd love to try (if not actually have) one of the early Colt revolver rifles (or a reasonable copy thereof).

They looked pretty cool in the photo shoot I just finished at the Texas A&M Corps Center. Just couldn't get enough pressure to shoot at high velocity.

Robert, you've been holding out on us! Where did you find your Diamondback? I'm still looking!

I've had a Diamondback for years. 289.00 from a pawnshop, if I remember correctly. Four-inch barrel. Good shape.
