I was picking up my newest pack member, a Model 19 6", when another gun called me...
This one was kind of strange.
Because it wasn't a Smith & Wesson...
It was a Colt, Model 1893, in .38 Long Colt...
The finish was kind of rough, but the grips were in good shape, the barrel was pretty crips, and it wasn't too abused. Lock-up was kind of spotty, though, and it would have needed some timing work...
But it still called to me.
Any of you who know me know how odd that is. Colts normally don't call to me. In fact, I've NEVER had a Colt revolver call to me before...
I had to resist the temptation, though, because as luck (or bad luck) would have it, my refrigerator is crapping out, and I'm going shopping tomorrow.
But I still don't understand it.
It's nothing like what normally calls to me...
