Kurzbeschreibung
Standard Catalog of Colt Firearms contains Colt classics and cutting-edge models including Tommy guns, 1911 autos, and Monitors.
Provides pricing and identification data useful when monitoring online auction sites and research online sites for the best deals.
Features a foreword from Colt Manufacturing Co. Still America's oldest continually produced firearms brand, Colt may not be making as many new models as it once did, but the value of what's out there is on the rise; creating a robust market for collectors.
With 500 large-format color photos of Colt firearms and modern Colt clones, certified pricing in up to five grades of condition, serial number data, and details about legendary (Tommy guns) and trendy (Anaconda and .28 Supers) models, this one-of-a-kind reference helps you identify arms, and inspires your appreciations of Colt.

Needs a lot more work
16. Februar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
In my opinion, this book is a major let-down. To be fair, with a book of this kind the author is more apt to be blamed for omissions and errors than credited for what he includes. But whether or not Mr. Sapp put time, work, and enthusiasm into the book, the result of his work simply falls short. Compare the Standard Catalog of Colt Firearms with, say, even the first edition of the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson. The authors of the S&W book clearly exerted due diligence in their research and made every effort to be thorough. In contrast, the author of the Colt book needed to do another two years of research and, as it seems, set a higher standard for what he would accomplish. For example, a "standard catalog" ought to round up and impose order on special production runs about which little is generally known. The S&W book essays this very thing. However, in the Colt book, although commemoratives are represented, what about non-commemorative, limited production items like the Super Lite Commander, Super Commander, Custom Carry Commander, 1911 Recon, etc.? They are not here. What about the run of 9mm Government Models produced in the 1991A1 series? I'd like to know how many 9mm 1991A1 GM's were made and why they were produced, and I look to a book like this to do the research and tell me. But the information is absent. In what calibers has Colt produced the 1991A1 series? Not here. What is the difference between the old and new 1991A1 rollmarks? Every Colt newbie wants to know, and this book should have included an illustrated comparison, but did not. And so it goes: omissions, mixed-up captions, confusing organization (like putting ordinary MK IV Series 80 GMs and Commanders under the Gunsite heading). Too bad! It's a pity to write, edit, and publish a book of this kind without a greater effort to be thorough. I suggest that anyone considering the purchase of this book save his or her money. And--with respect--I suggest the author study the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson as an example to aspire to for the next and hopefully better edition.

Good first effort.....BUT........
31. Januar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
An OK first effort to give the Colt people something similar to books on S&W, Winchester, and other gun makers.
Problem is, WAY too many blatant errors and switched/wrong pictures.
Just sloppy editing.
Just as an example, the book describes the 1950's Colt Border Patrol correctly, but pictures the later 1970's Border Patrol that was just the Trooper Mark III with "Border Patrol" stamped on the barrel in place of the Trooper Mark III stamps.
I couldn't find ANY listing or description for the Mark III based Border Patrol.
An unwary Mark III owner is going to assume he has a valuable, rare original 1950's Colt Border patrol worth big money.
Many of the listings appear to be simply lifted whole, word for word, from the Gun Digest Book of Gun Values, and I think that's just what was done, just re-hashing the info.
Bottom line, a good effort to produce something for the Colt people, but not a great first cut at it.
The many errors are obvious carelessness that undercut the value of the information.

Save your money!!!
22. Dezember 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book must of been rushed to press in order to catch the Xmas market. The editors should of waited a few months and put together accurate and reliable information. The pictures of examples are often mismatched or wrong. The prices are so far off the mark it is laughable!! Save your money and get a later edition (or a different book!) that has been corrected and proofed by reliable Colt collectors and experts.
