Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

    Note the difference in this gun and the previous: safety, milled alloy not cast, a "commander" hammer that I have to assume makes it a da/sa? the original pocketlite was dao.

    Only own 1 at the moment. My grandfathers 1905 Colt Army Special in .38 Special--and yes it still gets taken to the range with light loads.

    I'll never forget the old 60's Oldsmobile ad which declared "Horsepower sells engines, but torque wins races."

    Hard to beat nearly 600 ft-lbs of torque (when tweeked [;)]).

    Trooper 357 c. 1968 that looks like it was rode hard and put away wet. But she's as smooth as seilk.

    Had a 6" Python stolen in 1985. This is the replacement I bought.


    standard.jpg


    Bought this for my wife about 20 years ago. Turned out she dislikes revolvers. So I kept it.


    standard.jpg


    Bagged this recently when I thought I wanted to play with a 32-20.


    standard.jpg


    Has some cosmetic issues but it's still a Python.

    The stocks are almost worth more than the gun...

    Here are a few pictures of most of my Colts. I apologise for being a lousy photographer. They're all genuine Colts, though!

    Series '70 Government model. Bought this in '76, my dad had to fill out the papers, as I was too young. Been my primary carry gun since.

    holsters050.jpg
    1943 Government model, US issued. This was a gift to my grandfather from the legendary lawman, Joe Anderson. All matching serial numbers, unfortunately, it was refinished in the time when they weren't worth much.

    I had one of those when I was a kid. I bought it with a pack of bottle rockets (5.00). I think I was 12 at the time and was to young and dumb to think about it being stolen.

    Ever notice how the horse logo is not consistent from revolver to revolver? Someone once described it as the horse prancing all over the place. I guess a worker simply stamped them by hand with no concern for exact placement.

    As to "why" unless I buy the gun new I'm making it a habit to not show them ... on these I was just playing around with my photo editing software.

    A couple years ago I had bought a Daewoo DR300 with a broken bolt that I had bought used on the GB auction side ... after a couple years of not being able to get the parts to fix it I decided to re-list and sell it. While it was up for auction a guy contacted me and claimed it was his rifle, and it had the exact same damage. He said he had sent it in for a claim against Brown Bear ammo for damaging his gun and, that about a year later it was being returned to him un-repaired because they couldn't get parts for it. Then it got "lost" in shipping. After a bunch of research it turns out I had bought mine before his was even sent in for repair and to top it off he didn't actually know his serial number and just thought it was the same gun ... but the shop he sent his DR300 to did know the number; the one I had wasn't his.
