OK, in an attempt to stir up a bit of activity (usually the job of our favorite cheerleader rcwambold) let me ask how many of you guys put those beloved Colts to use and in what way?
Mostly target shooting, action shooting, safe queens, field use, CCW, duty, or what? I guess I'll go 1st.
I have carried a number of mine into the forest. Depending on the circumstance I have chosen to take a specific Colt side arm.
When riding dirt bikes (motocross) in the high desert I often carry a small snub like the SFVI or Detective Special. It doesn't get in the way at all. When deer hunting in Mountain Lion country, I have often carried a 6" King Cobra. It serves the dual purpose of being capable of taking a deer when away from camp without a rifle (as in using the $hitter) and can quickly be brought in to service in the unlikely encounter with a big cat. In Bear country I have an Anaconda accompany me, packed with my "anti-bear" load using 300 gr JSP. When deer hunting in areas with out the threat of Bear & Mountain Lion, I often take a Gov't Model to serve the purpose of dispatching the deer that just won't give up after being dropped. Pythons get occasional paper work, as do the Troopers.
I have some of the safe queens too. Not so much that they are too special to shoot, but more that I haven't got around to shooting them. I also have the less practical guns (38 Spec) that spend most of their time being handled rather then shot.
So what about the rest of you? Any one alive out here?
