My Pop sent me some pics of my #1 all-time favorite pistol in the world, his Colt's Combat Commander. He's retired Airborne and has had it since the early '70s. It was his duty sidearm while he served.

Several months ago I had an m1911 knife made for him with a matching set of silver-black wood grips for the Colt.

Thanks.

My Pop is the photographer in the family. He's retired now, but has been a professional photographer as a side job/hobby for years. He travels all over the place and always has his camera around his neck...

A true combat vet...with not a sharp point on it.

Dehorned...or just carried for decades ?!

That's all holster wear right there Sir. If guns could talk, I'd be listening to that one for days...

LAZY EYED SNIPER

I know next to nothing about single action Colts, can you set me straight on the difference in the Model 1840 and the Model 1873 (I think also called Model P) or do I have my numbers all mixed up?
Here's a couple pic's of my Commander, a Light Weight Commander (second year production).

Looks nice and one you can be proud to own. Got to fire an old 1911 warhorse years back. Great fun to touch off a .45. Thanks for taking the time to post.
