Clayroad Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I was going though some old gun receipts and came across one for my Colt SP-1 shorty. Dated October 1979 . Hand written receipt for $365.00 ,and rubber stamped Buddy Hinton , Houston,TX. After all these years I still have the Colt shorty, it has shot God only knows how many rounds, never failed to function. Deer, coyotes , bobcats, and one feral hog that charged me. The Colt is all original. So after 37 years it is still rockin and rollin . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayroad Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yeap, that's me ! The Colt came with 2 20 round mags, I only used one of them all these years, blue worn down to brass look, still works. The other magazine only lost it's virtue last week. I figured it was time. Dang Buddy, that is some good record keeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
