I agree! All that I have met, that responded to me talking about these great pieces of F U N history, were astonished to know they existed in such abundance as replicas etc.
I am going to take A L L of my Colts to the range for various test firing. I am curious as to what the reactions of others will be.
Last time I was at the range with many different weapons, the Dragoon turned the most heads. After firing it once, there were many seemingly stunned open mouthed wonderes. The report from it was so distinct from everything else there. Of course the smoke too!
Ooooh. Got to rambling there.
