I'll do my best to get a "real" mag for the gun as mine is definitely an aftermarket one and I have not had good luck with aftermarket mags, except for MecGar. The only person I would trust my guns with is David, so his plan for the gun will be the one I choose. The bluing is almost completely off the gun, but the metal is smooth and un-pitted with just a few scratches/gouges in it, although not too bad for a 104 year old gun.

It feels great in the hand and it has the heft of the Walther PP, which I really like. After this one, I'll look for a 1908 in .380, but I needed a gun in .32 as I have several thousand rounds of .32 and no other pistol that uses that cartridge except for my friend's Walther, and I hope to get that pistol from him as he has no interest in the gun whatsoever.

I tool the Colt apart last night and it's clean and smooth inside, very little wear but the pin in the front slide falls out and I don't want to lose it! Very cool design, I'm very, very impressed so far!!
