When did you get your first Colt(s)? What was it?

[1966Python]

In 1968 I bought a used Colt Detective and traded it for a Colt Cobra. Both were ear splitters. I traded the Cobra and boot for a NIB 2nd Gen SAA in 38 Special. I owned it for many years. It was fun to shoot, accurate and wad cutters worked well for head shooting squirrels. It was the one I should have kept forever. Then I got Python Fever......

This is my first Colt, a Police Positive Special .38 from 1928. I bought it in 2003. It was my second handgun, the first being a Ruger Single Six.

Began shooting a COLT Trooper .357 Magnum in 1971 loaned to me and eventually
purchased by me. Wore that gun out and had to replace some parts. Absolutely loved that gun.

Shot very well with it and out shot most of the officers on our local PD using S&W's and the
COLT National Match. It was great times.

I didn't get my first Colt until about 15 years ago when I was shooting Bullseye. A custom R.L Shockey wadcutter gun built from a pre-70s series commercial Government Model.
