Not sure if this has been discussed here in the forum before, but I sure find it interesting:

Very interesting!


I do not think this Work was done by Colt though...rather, I would guess someone in the 1930s or so did it themselves - meaning, modified an early Colt DA to be their own scheme for Single Shot shooting.

I will have to try some 'googles' to find out about the Ruger single Shot the Seller is referenceing...I am not familiar with that one.
