Friday at a local gunshop
A particularly tacticool gunshop. Guy behind the counter was showing a fairly nice genuine Colt SAA .45 7 1/2" blue revolver to a customer who had asked why they wanted 1,900 dollars for it. It was in very nice condition with some minor blue wear right at the muzzle. Walnut with Colt medalions. The guy tells the customer it is expensive because it is an original issue Colt from 1874, the first year they were issued. Gunshop dude tells the customer he has paperwork on that fact. Tells the customer that originally they all came with 13 1/2" barrels from Colt but the infantry cut them down to 7 1/2" so they would be easier to use. Really. That was the conversation.
