Alpo Posted January 14 Posted January 14 The Colt Model M - the 1903 32 and the 1908 380 - is one of the sweetest pistols around. Everybody that's ever had their hands on one loves it. There is a minor problem though. They haven't been made since World War II. Which means magazines are few and far between, and expensive as hell. I got a good deal on a couple of 1908s a few years back. Bought both guns but there was only one magazine between them. Ah well. About 10 years ago Colt started selling them again. They weren't making them. A company called US Armament was making them. But Colt was selling them. And the really good part about them bringing the gun back, was they were making magazines for it. $55 each, but they were available. A few months ago I got to thinking about picking up a couple more magazines for my 32. So I go to US Armament to see if they still have them. Yes they do. And they're $40 now instead of 55. And even better, they're making them in both 32 and in 380. When the re-release of the gun came out, they were only 32s. So I figured all they had was magazines in 32. But they got both. And I ordered both. $40 a magazine is a little steep, but it's cheaper than what HK charges for theirs. And if you would like to have a brand new Model M pocket pistol, they are still making them. 32 and 380. I believe they're about $1,800, but they are available. Just thought there would probably be people here that would like to know about the magazine availability. 1 Quote
DeaconKC Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Triple K has made repro magazines for many years, including these and generally work well. If not, they are quick to replace them. 1 Quote

They even had them for my Remington M 51 .32. 2 Quote
