Hello all! Long time, no post.
Yes, I'm still around, and still collecting. Recently picked up this Colt Junior from an auction house in Cincinnati Ohio. I didn't know anything about it. But it looked cool, and came in the original box. I was so happy with it, I had to share.
Made in 1971. I believe the first year made in the US. I watched some youtube videos, and everyone who has one seems to be very happy with it. Purchased pistol for $300 plus tax.
Also picked up a T53 in overall average condition. Stock a little better than average, metal well patena-ed. $100 plus tax.
I may venture more into the pocket pistols. So if you have any suggestions, let me know.
Happy New Year.

They were made in Spain by Astra for Colt, IIRC. Cool pistol., Now you need a Colt Baby.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I guess post 68 they would have been made in America, wouldn't they? Duh.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

A good choice would be a Beretta Jetfire.
