Sometimes people just give you stuff. I have a Colt double action (New Army) in .45 Colt that someone gave to me. Of course not before some previous owner nickeled it and ruined the collector value.

It's Colt Combat Commander, in what's left of satin nickel. A friend asked if I would be interested in a pistol thats rusty and don't work. He handed over the colt. It had a plunger tube that came loose jamming the thumb safety. I re-staked it.

As far as the hammer is concerned it is an original hammer designed for the commander. It shoots to point of aim, holds the 10 ring on a B27 at 20 yds. rusted bore and all. I just dropped some oil on the rails and bushing fit and it ran several mags of my reloads thru it with out hiccup.
