My Colt New Service in .45 ACP has finally returned home from it's trip to the gunsmith. I picked this one up at a gun show where it had been hiding on someone's table. Sort of a humble looking thing, someone had cut the barrel off at about 3 inches but never bothered to reinstall the front sight. It must have been ignored for multiple shows, it's owner was, shall we say motivated to move it along to someone new for a reasonable price.
I had been considering having one one of my complete Colt New Service's cut down to a Fitz Special for some time but just couldn't bring my self to cut one of them down. When I happened on this little guy I knew immediately what to do with it.
