Hey Wolfspiritky,
I finally got back my 1903 shooter from "The Shooters Roost" in North Carolina. I had it black parkerized it's wonderful. It came back with a dark black matte finish.

Here it is, the end of May and my 1903 shooter has not returned from the parkerizer ! Getting itchy to see a totally parkerized 1903. Its' finish was not great but didn't have any pitting etc. Should really shine parkerized.

Just posted a few pictures of my 1903 Colt with some custom grips and they were not outragously expensive. Soon as my shoulder holster arrives I will carry this some along with my primary carry pistol. I truly appriciate this old gun. Classic

davidlee...I checked out the William Brown products and must say, good pick! A bit pricey for my cheap-ass but really nice stuff.
I like the styling of the swivel-type vertical rig...and I

Speaking of Colts...I spent most of last week sighting-in and getting the feel of a Colt "Pre-Woodsman", which is my Dads.
What a sweet pistol! The majority of my shooting is devoted

Hi Bill, welcome to the forum. Can you give me a little more information on your pistol? You didn't mention the caliber or the condition it's in. You do know that you're sitting on a very valuable gun, don't you? If it's the .38acp model, it's doubly valuable!

Hi Guys, I just found this site and was trying to find something on the 1903 Hammerless, and found Tex's post. I have one of those great little pistols I inherited from my mom, who got it from her

Thanks Will. Rare when one gets to post the first review on a firearm. I do like the Colt 03's and 08's. Check out the Colt 1908 site.

This little pistol is one of best small caliber pistols ever made. They come in 4 model groups I, II, III $ IV. The model I used a seperate barrel bushing and the later models had a lug on the barrel
