Colt Firearms

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 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
. They can be interesting bits of engineering as well as history. And the history of Colt, is truly American history.

Excellent program. I am a Colt man. Carried Colts as a Soldier and Lawmen. They are in my opinion the finest weapon to carry.

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.

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!

Enjoyed this!
I was surprised the big Walker Colt wasn’t discussed. It played a major role on the frontier especially for the Texas rangers.

Here in Oklahoma, farmers have found old rusted guns tilled up in dirt from the wild west past.

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.
