My first Colt!!!

[darend505]

Just picked up this Colt's Government Model .22!!!



Won't be able to shoot it til next weekend, but I am digging it so far! I know it's made by Walther, but still damn nice in my eyes!

Nice, I love shooting my conversion kits on my Glocks. Even in the current climate of ammo availability, I can shoot a lot more 22 than centerfire on my budget.

 

[palerider0485]

very nice, hopefully first of many.i enjoy shooting .22s as much or more then anything.

I've shot a friends and the accuracy was impressive. I'm eventually gonna pick one of those up. Not even enough recoil to make your sights bobble! Very fun plinker

 

[darend505]

.22 will always be my favorite. I bought this with the plan of buying a .45 1911 next year. Been thinning the collection down and bought this with the results!

I have a couple colt 1911's, I don't carry them often. Except to the range! Seems like having 1 in a .22 for extra practice is a no brainer. I'll be looking forward to a range report.

Congrats! Just be warned: COLT'S ARE CONTAGIOUS!! Once you get one, you want more... I foresee a .45 ACP Colt 1911 in your future.

More bang for the buck to buy 1911 in .45 then buy a .22 conversion ciener kit or equivalent.

Congratulations! In my opinion Colts make great firearms. My EDC is a Colt Double Eagle 45, I also have 2 Colt revolvers, an Anaconda 44 Mag and a King Cobra .357 Mag. All mine are the stainless versions.

I wouldn't mind having a conversion kit. Just seems like a complete gun is comparable in price. I don't have either at the moment but I've shot the gsg and colt. Liked them both. Almost bought the kimber conversion kit awhile back. But if I didn't already have a 1911 the complete gun seems like a logical choice.

I have 45acp guns and my view is like this:
Why pay that much for something that temporarily alters one toy some of the time...when for a few bucks more you can get a whole 'nother toy? More is always better.

LarryC; glad to see I'm not the only one on INGO to own a Colt Double Eagle

 

[darend505]

It is definitely the first in my stable! I have been working on thinning out my collection a bit, and going for quality over quantity. The gun was "free" to me! Sold a few others and used those funds!

A Colt 1911 A1 or Government Model 70 or 80 is on my short list, top 10 for sure. Though I am wanting to get an AR-15 I think. Still looking for an older .30-30 bolt action. Should be getting my Winchester 1894 back soon, having some work done on it. When I get that I might take this ,and see about having the trigger skeletonized!

Was just looking at the magazine that came with the gun, and the spare that I bought to go with it. It looks like they are serial numbered as well. The one that came with the gun is stamped #3, and the other is in the 12k range. I tried looking up the serial number on the Colt Website, but to no avail, anyone know where I can get a date range when the pistol was manufactured?

LK0328XX

Took me 3 years to obtain 3 springfields and a Sig. Took me 3 months to obtain 2 Colts 1911's*** they're a lot like my wife*** I just want to touch 'em!!! All the time!!!! I'm loving my Colts more every time I shoot 'em , I'm sure you will also, congrats!!!
