COLT 1903

Overview

****USED firearm please see photos for detail****The Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless Type II is a classic early 20th-century semi-automatic pistol, valued for its craftsmanship, reliability, and historical significance. Chambered in .32 ACP, it was designed by John Moses Browning and produced by Colt from 1908 to 1926 for the Type II variant. This pistol features a sleek, compact profile with a 3.75-inch barrel and a simple blowback operation, making it easy to handle and well-suited for concealed carry in its era. The "hammerless" name refers to its internal hammer design, which reduces snagging and gives the gun its smooth outline. Type II models are distinguished by improvements such as a barrel bushing and modifications to the slide and internal components compared to earlier versions. Typically finished in blued steel with checkered hard rubber grips bearing the Colt logo, the Model 1903 reflects the refined aesthetics of its time. It includes both a grip safety and a manual thumb safety, offering a level of security uncommon in many pistols of that period. Widely used by military officers, law enforcement, and civilians alike, the Colt 1903 gained a reputation for accuracy and dependability. Overall condition fair with brown patina due to age. Includes one magazine. -AB
