This well-worn Colt Pocket Pistol, with an enclosed hammer and nothing to snag, was a favorite of the underworld during the Roaring 20s. It was available in both 32 and 38 calibers. To my mind, it remains a classic design. As a young man, I could field-strip it with no tools in less than a minute. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Pocket+Pistol.TIFF.html Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
