This channel is centered on the exploration of a large private collection of Colt Automatic Pistols (not my collection) aquired over 30 years of traveling to gunshops, auctions and gunshows. The collection is a testiment to the genius of the American gun designer John M Browning, the manufacturing abilities of Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company and one man's passion of collecting historic examples of Colt's line of automatic pistols.
About Me:
 
Special Orders No 260, Headquarters of the Army, Adjutant General's Office dated Nov 8th, 1898 Directed a Board of Officers to "...consider the subject of repeating pistols: and report whether they are as desirable for the United States Cavalry service as the revolver; and if adopted whether should displace the carbine, and the latter be discarded." This order set in motion the competition between firearms manufacturing companies for the lucritive US Government contract for the new automatic sidearm of the US Military.
Colt won with it's Model 1911 and the pistol served the United States Military thru WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam.

The collection I examine on this channel contains over 900 Colt Automatic Pistols. I am starting in chronological order with Colt Model 1900 thru Colt Model 1911, and then branching into the many different Colt Automatic Pistols in this collection.
