9thMarines 44 Posted July 13, 2017 Be interested to know if anyone has had any experience with this neat little pistol. Apparently F.I. was going to make these for Colt as the Colt Pony but the deal fell thru. They still have the CPA serial number prefix (Colt Pony..) Wanted a little .380 but didn't care for anything out there. Too big, too small, too plasticky, or too expensive..etc Found this little guy. A scaled down 1911. (my favorite format) Real metal!!..

bhunted 887 Posted July 13, 2017 Kewl lil pistol. Have to read up on it. As for all metal baby 1911 style. A Sig P238 wouldn't fit the bill? I have the P938 and love the 1911 style relationship.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time will tell. If you know what you're looking at you often can get more than you pay for. A quick check of the auction sites shows these are going for $400 or so in this condition. Kenny, one thought I had. Check to see if the firing pin protrudes from the breech with the hammer down. Not a design flaw. Just means you can't lower the hammer on a loaded round. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't mention that right away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good catch. Will check it out, just out of curiosity. As this is just going to be a range toy to play around with, it won't be carried loaded. Hope to get to the range sometime next week to check it out. It does fit my hand so nicely. All the best, Kenny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
