A few colts to the collection


West

Recommended Posts

West... I got ta thinkin about your 1911 collection a bit; and lettin my mind wander back to the "old days" when the 1911 wuz first birthed... The 1911 replaced the Colt Single Action Army, which was the first (...and i think greatest...) of the calvary pistols... Lots of folks don't know it; but the 1911 was first and foremost a cavalry weapon... There are lots of old timers from the civil war on who talked about carryin at least 4 loaded pistols on their calvary mounts... If ya do the math on that one; you've got an armored up set plus 5 1/2 reloads.... That's a helluva lot of firepower... Ole Nathan Bedford Forrest or JEB Stuart would be proud of ya...

To my way of thinkin, there's nothin more fearsome than a man on horseback bearin down on ya with a pistol blazin......

 

Keep shootin...
