Been thinking about getting a Glock again...
So, instead, I bought a Colt Police Positive Special in 32-20 a few minutes ago on gunbroker.
My second Colt this year. Could be the start of a trend. I'll post some pix in a bit.

You're hooked Mike. I got my first Colt this year. I'm not sure if there are any support groups for that kind of addiction (but I could be wrong?) The frying pan therapy doesn't even work with a head as hard as mine. Some things are just worth the yelling.
Congratulations!

Every time I'm thinking about buying a Glock I shoot one.. Then I compare it to my Springfield XD.. Then I buy another Springfield!
I'm sure this post will make a lot of people happy |

I've been thinking of a Glock myself. Can't afford any guns at the moment, so, I checked out "Glock" at the library and am reading about them instead.

When I first read the title to this thread I was going to ask, WHY!
Now I understand AND AGREE!

I have an early generation Glock 30 .45ACP that is a nail-driving, comfortable shooter. It's size and the fact that sighting with it is like looking down the deck of an aircraft carrier is a turn off but it's still a marvelous piece of engineering.
It just doesn't leave the house with me anymore since I've migrated back to revolvers. |

Despite the title (which harkens back to a thread I posted some months ago in General Handguns), this thread isn't about Glocks.

Autos make a flash and a bang, but revolvers tamed the west. Came the closest anyway!

I has new gun!
Exterior finish isn't top of the line, but it's not been shot much.

Mike you did well. 32-20s are harder to find. I only ever had a 38 special in a PPS. Next you need a S&W pre war hand ejector 5 screw in 32-20 to go with it.
I have a S&W in 32-20 but no pics. I missed one a while back that keeps me up at night. I won't get into that so I don't cry like a baby. You got a great gun there. Its also a pre war colt judging by that low(er) SN, when people who made guns weren't retarded and gave a crap about their jobs and how nice the guns they made were. It was a different time in those days.

I looked up the SN on proofhouse, and well, the gun with a 32XXX SN looks to be 1910. That makes sense because it has the early rampant pony through "C" logo found in that era.
I'm a little confused though because the barrel has a last patent date from 1926 ? I hope its ok Mike but I'm not sure.....could it be................. re barreled? If you find out it is, I would try to get some money back from them.
