US Colt 1900
This review of the Colt 1900 highlights its historical significance as the 'granddaddy' of the 1911. The pistol weighs 2.2 lbs with an overall length of 8.9 inches and chambers 7 rounds of .38 ACP. Key features discussed include its short recoil operation, narrow grip with an old-world feel, short and smooth waxing crescent trigger, tall sights with a blade front and deep notch rear, and a hammer block safety. The reviewer notes the difficulty in manipulating the hammer but praises the positive heel release magazine.
