I couldn't find a photo thread dedicated specifically to the Army Special. I know how popular they are and how much we love them in all calibers and barrel lengths. So, post 'em if ya got 'em!

This one is a nicely patina'ed 1923 in .38 Special caliber.

I'm not an expert, but here is a link to where I look for info on Colts at coltfever.

Army Special

"Grips were black hard rubber with molded in checkering and Colt logos until 1923 when checkered walnut with silver Colt medallions became standard."

Just picked-up this nice Army Special from a local dealer. It was on consignment at a very favorable price. Definitely not a collector, but certainly an excellent shooter.

Nice! I like shooters better anyways.

It's pretty rough, but this old Army Special was carried by my grandfather as a Maine game warden in the Allagash, before and during WW2. It has seen a lot of country, but is still a good shooter.

I like it! Good that you have it as well.

Nice one!

They would be the black hard rubber grips.

I have this one on layaway. I couldn't resist the MOP grips.

That does look good with the MOP grips. I may have to get one to put my MOP grips on.
