I picked this up last weekend. It had a redish nail polish on the front site, and was pretty dirty. No box or extra mag, but only cost me $500. It cleaned up pretty nice.

After 3-4 months of patiently waiting, my Colt .380 Pocketlite finally arrived last week.

Beautiful little bugger, and resembles a baby 1911 in so many ways. Haven't had time for a range visit as of yet.

I'm also trying to decide if I really want to shoot it ... or keep it a few years unfired ...

Looks like the same one I have. Colt guard finish, looks like a blued or black mag. I thought the shop that soldme mine took out a stainless mag and replaced it with a blue one. He said that was what came with it. I got mine new in I believe 1983 or 84. Loose slide when new and has always been a fine shooter. Was my EDC for a few years, till I replaced it with a Pocket Nine.

I picked up .380 Gov at a show in Illinois years ago. It came with tijicon sites. since the move to AZ that little pistola has become one of my CC pieces.

Hi Mike,

Would really like to see how the tijicon sites were installed. The front sight absolutely needs improvement but since it was a solid sight, didnt think there was any options? Pics Please !!

Ivory Grips arrived today

Hi SFOGUN....here's my baby. The front site was dovetailed in . Its difficult to see. The local Gunsmith said its the finest dovetail work he's ever seen.

I like your choice of grips!

 

[MikenAZ]

Ill try to get a better picture of the front site in the sun light tomorrow. The grips were purchased in 1994. The grips that were installed when I purchased were black plastic with the silver Colt Logo, I assume those are the originals. Still have them,just liked the ivory!

PS....The sites were just relamped this year by trijicon.

Charles Spresser (423)336-1013 @ Spresserknifeworks.itgo.com is the gent that crafted these and the handles for my WWII 1911. Looking forward to
taking a pic of both these fine examples of great looking elephant Ivory grips together . Most cost friendly I've found on the inteweb without
skimping on quality. Now I just have to learn how to photograph these grips without looking so blurry.

Here's a picture of the front sight dovetail.

Thanks for the photo's, Im noticing slight discoloration to the front end of your slide, is that just powder from being fired or did the sight work cause havoc to the finish at all?
