A personal friend of mine gifted my son the twin to this, purchased new in 1973 w/all papers and box - only a couple of hundred rounds through it in all of those years - it was a safe queen. It is a safe queen no more, has become his carry gun of choice.
My boy is a stand up guy to begin with, but he stands a bit straighter and taller when he holsters that Colt. Lot of special meaning there too, if you knew the history behind this friend and I.
Thanks for your service Sempercarry - come home safe.
