Got Hammerless?

I had never been very interested in the early Colt pistols until a few years ago when I read a biography of John Browning. That inspired me to ad a few more of his designs to my collection.

Here's my 1903 made in 1940 and 1908 made in 1921with a few of their contemporaries :

My contribution to the thread, a 1903 Browning Patent Type 1, 1903 Type 2, and a Colt 1908. I love them all.

From the top...1925, 1922 and 1907. The one in the middle is a .380.

I only have one, a 1928 .380, but I have two pair of grip's,.......can I count that as two 1908's ?

A 1910 Type II in .32ACP:

A 1924 Type III in .380:

Two 1903 Model M's. 1905 blue "BROWNING'S PATENT" and 1922 nickel

I "Got" a couple...

Left is 1908 Hammerless .380 (#35506-1920) and right is 1903 Hammerless .32 (#284262-1918)

A quick snap of my two honeys... first pic together I think.

Top gun is Type II (barrel bushing and high polish finish) .380 #4936 (1910 vintage) - a gift from my stepfather in 2015. This was the first handgun I ever shot and is the last I would give up.

Bottom gun is Type III (1922) .380 #59623 - my shooter - and it is a sweet one. Extremely accurate with my mild handloads at 25 yards and puts the brass in a small pile nearby. You couldn't ask for a better all around shooter IMHO - hard to believe it's 95 years old!

I have one 1908M and one 1908 .25 auto left Ei8ht - and you aren't getting them! :bang_wall:


I got this package from Kid Sopris years ago. It has been professionally refinished; and is a great shooter. Now you know, Ei8ht, where that holster I gifted you came from! It was shipped to Von Lengerke & Antoine in Chicago. Here's another photo of it. The medals and ribbons are mine; not really impressive, but document my 30 years in the service.

A Humble Few

Here's a humble few of mine........................
