I must say I have found some great deals this year. I traded a home built 10.3” upper for this Colt and got $100 cash to boot  :D. The owner said when he received it many years ago , the nickel finish was in ok shape, but he sent it to Fords for a brushed nickel refinish. They could not save the Rampant Pony, but the gun looks good and shoots very well. I know it has zero collector value, but fits anywhere. It beats a sharp stick and was wayyyy more pleasant to shoot than my LCP. I’m fairly certain I have about $275 into this gun.

 

 

 

I think you got the better end of the deal.  I like it.

been thinking about getting one of these....  yours is nice!

Nifty little pistol.  I think it turned out looking pretty good.  I don't think the missing pony is all that big of a deal unless it is for someone who is a collector...for just a pocket pistol/shooter it is great.

My sister in law has a knock off of the Colt that an elderly couple she met at the hospital she works at gave her.  She wanted to buy my Bodyguard .380 but realized she couldn't even pull back the slide on it due to her arthritis when I unloaded it and had her try.  

I'll have to ask her again what it is that they gave her.

Good looking pistol.  I just recently acquired a 115 year old 1903 in .32 ACP.  It's still a great shooter.

Yes.
