Foreign-Made Colt Revolvers? The Fascinating Story of the Collectible Colt Brevetes.
BY Administrator Updated: April 20, 2017Sam Colt’s firearms had always been counterfeited in abroad but the numbers were small and Sam was, as usual, strapped for cash and so little could be done.

Rebirth of the Rampant Colt? The Combat Unit 9mm – Full Review.
BY Justin Opinion Updated: March 9, 2017The evaluation copy of the Combat Unit came to me chambered in 9mm. It is also offered in the traditional .45 ACP. What you get from 9mm is an extra round of capacity from a standard sized magazine, and less recoil. Much less recoil in fact, because shooting 9mm in a 40-ounce handgun almost feels like it should have an orange muzzle. Add in the inherent ergonomics of the 1911 and the brilliant extras added by Colt and it’s downright fun.
