Well, true. But not like a 1903. They are in a class by themselves.

you got me there.

 

[Leadeye]

I just want to find a good shooter that won't break the bank.

A type three shooter with an original mag will be around $400-450. Nicer guns to about $550, over that there has to be something really special about it. A place on GB has two type 3s listed for $390 I believe and they are on their second cycle.

Thanks, I'll look for them.

Paid $410 with $25 shipping for the bottom one a month ago. Over 40+ years of buying and selling guns, I've never had one of these things not shoot.

That's the kind of deal I'm looking for.

 

[Leadeye]

The top one was made in 1905 the earliest version. Put 8 rounds in the mag today and put all 8 in the black at 15 yards one after another. We'll have to wait a while to see if Glocks are still working that well 111 years from now.

 

[db1959]

I know it's early but I am calling it a night. Night all.

 

[actaeon277]

Was looking at this one.

Colt 1903 Automatic 32 Hammerless 1 Mag MFG 1922 : Semi Auto Pistols at GunBroker.com

 

[Leadeye]

Sure have. The 32 APC is small, but the gun is very flat in a back pocket and has good ergonomics, excellent really for a design that old.

People have hotted up 32 ACP with 100 grain cast bullets and the .380 version is the same gun.

 

[Birds Away]

I was thinking a .380 would make a dandy BUG. But, they are a little more pricey.

That's a lot better than your average shooter and it comes with the holy box! A steal at that price if you can get it. That's a Type 3.

Why go .380 when you can get a 9 for about the same size?

I know. It is the gun I love. I will put up with the caliber.

It's a long wait. I wish it was Buy It Now.
