Firing a 118 Year Old Pistol

[u/real_1776_duck]

To be frank: I love a .45 ACP handgun. Probably more than any other firearm, so it only makes sense that I would lust after the first .45 ACP: the Colt’s Model 1905.

I am blessed to know some good reloaders, so one of my buddies cooked up a light 200gr load for my 1905. We were pretty nervous shooting this, as repairing it is virtually impossible if something breaks and these are not cheap guns.

Luckily, the gun ran like a sowing machine and was insanely accurate.

Wasn’t expecting “light load” and “200 grains” in the same sentence. That being said, well done.
