Well, it is just too darned cold to go outside and find a nice background for photographing my Colt (like Scooby did!) so here it is on a very plain background.

I bought this 3rd Generation Colt from a friend who had put the long barrel on the gun, saving the shorter barrel. Aesthetically, I do prefer the Artillery length, but find both attractive. Oh, this is in 45 Colt.
