- Last year my son Josh and I got a very special invitation to go meet a group of hobbyists dedicated to preserving a bit of history. I truly appreciate people whose passion for collecting intersects with my love of history. That is why we were so excited to attend the Colt Collectors association’s 42nd annual all colt gun show held just outside Indianapolis in Noblesville Indiana.

Nice, a video that will definitely be approved by Forgotten Weapons. Edit: yup, I also watched Ian's video on the Col Machine gun relased the same day as this one.
This was an outstanding video. I love the fact that you presented these firearms and the people that collect them in a politically neutral light. You presented them as they are: interesting pieces of history collected by people with a keen interest in them. Seeing firearms presented as pieces of history to be prized and preserved and appreciated, rather than being villified as tools of violence and war is such a refreshing take. This video just reaffirmed why I love this channel: your commitment to presenting history, positive or negative, without bias, and keeping it interesting the whole way through!
Great video! The M1911 deserves its own video. Designed by John Browning, the 1911 was first used by the U.S. Army in 1911, and continued in military use until recent years. It is still more accurate than nearly all modern auto-loading pistols.
Here in Oklahoma, farmers have found old rusted guns tilled up in dirt from the wild west past.
Old guns are beautiful.
LOVED this!! You married my two favorite hobbies, history and firearms. I’d love more episodes like this!
I have a Colt 1911 that was made in 1919. It is 103 years old, yet it still functions perfectly, and I shoot it a lot. Name a product made today that will still be in use and work perfectly one hundred years from now.
I have a T-Shirt that says "God made all men. Samuel Colt made all men equal." 🙂
As a revolver fan, "modern" Colts have two engineering features that shine above most of the competitors. First, the cylinder rotates in a clockwise direction. That means that the hand rotating the cylinder from the bottom up applies pressure to push the cylinder in to the frame, rather than outwards like a S&W does. This eliminates the need for additional "locks" used by S&W and provides a more secure alignment. Second, the cylinder release latch is one that you pull back on, instead of pushing on the S&W. When you push, you have tendency to push the barrel into a downward angle, only to have to then tip it up more to allow gravity to assist the ejection. With the Colt's "pull back" design, you have a natural tendency to pull the butt of the revolver down, naturally improving the angle for gravity to assist on the ejection. This results in an economy of movement and a slightly faster reload.
I wouldn't mind a Colt for 40 years of service.
This was a pretty interesting episode. And while not a Colt collector; it was refreshing to see firearms presented other than the typical media portrayal of just an instrument of crime
Awesome story well done Colt is my personal go-to weapon I own a Colt 1911 45
Another high caliber video!
I love this channel. My Dad and I definitely have a soft spot for Colts. Our favorite is a Colt 1911 manufactured in 1919, that still works, and is in remarkable condition.
I saw ‘Carbine Williams’ as a child and I’ve always remembered it. Would love to see it again.
Great story as usual. Please do one on John Browning gun inventor, thx for all that you do!
Enjoyed this!
Excellent program. I am a Colt man. Carried Colts as a Soldier and Lawmen. They are in my opinion the finest weapon to carry.
Always look forward to your posts
Absolutely love this video I'd like to see more
