Happy 209th birthday...

Post by Ysabel Kid »

... Colonel Samuel Colt! :D :D :D

So many fantastic models either came from his inventive mind or his company. The Dragoons, and 1851 Navy, the 1860 Army... then the Single Action Army and the 1911. The shooting world owes him a big debt of gratitude!!!

I'm thinking the 1911 came from Mr. Browning's mind, eh?

It did. :D

Samuel Colt passed away in 1862. So the SAA, 1911, and other classics came from the company, not the man. :D
