Does the SRS cover the M1909 U.S.Army Colt .45? I have one (S/N: 31977) and was wondering. By the way it shoots great.

IIRC these were made in 1909 & 1910 only. You are thinking of a M1917 in .45 ACP. The 1909 is in .45 Colt.

According to the web site it is the 1917 Colt revolver but it is in .45 ACP and not in Colt .45. My mistake.

If you are sure it is a Model 1917 (it will indicate which on the butt where the serial number is) it was shipped February 16, 1918 to:

Ordnance Base Depot, U.S. Government, A.E.F. France, Ordnance Base Store #45, Bush Terminal, Brooklyn, N.Y.

No, I am NOT asking about a M1917. If you all will read what I wrote I am asking about a COLT M1909 U.S.ARMY in .45 COLT. These are far fewer than the M1917's.

Pardon me.

Sir, it is just that everyone thinks I don't know what I have and they do. If they would just read what I wrote and maybe ask a question before sounding off we would not have had a misunderstanding. Will post a picture of the butt of the revolver.

There was confusion in the thread on what your revolver was, and mistakenly I picked up on that. Only trying to help and didn't mean to set you off.

But, if you read enough the shipping date and destination of your 1909 is available.

I have read that most if not all were shipped to the Philippines. But what happened to them after that. Not that I haven't tried to find info on the 1909, but there is not much out there................

I have the CD with all the records. It appears that there is no information on the M1909 unless it is mixed in with the M1917. Did the M1917 serial numbers pick up where the M1909 left off? I think the only real difference is in the cylinder.

I am pretty sure the M1909 was only made in 1909 and 1910. The M1917's followed in 1917. I would doubt that the S/N's would be mixed in with each other, however they may be.
