Colt – World-famous pistols with a great tradition

The US weapons manufacturer Colt has played a leading role in the development of modern firearms and is known in this country not only from countless films and series.

The ASMC shop stocks various pistols from the manufacturer from Hartford, Connecticut, which has developed not only quick-loading pistols but also revolvers and assault rifles over more than 150 years of company history.

Using Colt pistols correctly and professionally

Many of the models in this shop are so-called imitation weapons, which are intended exclusively for private use and may not be carried in public. A basic distinction must be made between gas and blank-firing pistols and real defense weapons, which have an easy-load system. With this system, the gas cartridge can be replaced quickly and without much effort.

Many Colt models are made of solid metal, while others have optical highlights, such as a detective look with a wooden handle. In all versions, accidental discharge of shots is prevented by a manual safety catch, which does not cause unwanted unlocking even when carried on the body.

For safe and proper storage, a perfectly fitting holster is an essential piece of equipment, and this shop offers many different versions. Other accessories such as steel balls, spare magazines and carrying straps are also available and are sometimes also suitable for the manufacturer's rifles. Depending on the model, the weapon is purchased as a complete set with batteries, chargers or spare magazines.
