In this episode of TFBTV, @JamesReeves inherits a Colt 1903 Hammerless Pocket pistol in .32ACP. This pistol is pristine, mint – unfired. This specific 1903 was issued to James step-grandfather, who was a brigadier general. James eventually inherited it. It was never handled or shot before James got it, but what’s the fun in that? James sends this gun to get re-coated with a camo paint job and add an optics cut for a Sig Romeo Zero/Holosun 407k/507k footprint, and then takes it to the range…

James, I think your SECOND 1903 Pocket Hammerless is your new tuxedo pocket pistol. Well done!
Hells yeah that's a sexy pistol. I support the mods. Glad you're enjoying it as well 😎 👍
chEErs
Yeah, you almost got me. Well played sir.
nice job looks well great camo choice
AAAAAAA YA BASTAAAARD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Almost got me! If you had touched that gun the only thing that your step-dad and grandpa would be happy about would've been to switch places to hold you while the other one beats you up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jokes aside (even the cruel ones you pull out) respect for giving life to an old horse, you'll be surprised how many laps it has to go more.
Bravo Zulu!
I would have done the exact same thing. What good is a gun you don't shoot. But you chickened out didn't do it. But I understand sentimental value
New it was a reproduction should have waited till April 1st.
As a kid, I went to many weeknight Giants games, and besides foul balls, I had many balls tossed to me by an umpire during the 7th inning stretch or at the end of a game. I got many of them autographed by players, but our neighborhood strike outs often ended up with lost balls, and I would end up taking my autographed ball out to play. Of course, that would end up lost as well, and I don't regret my choices. That being said, my heart hurt this whole video until the end, but that cerekote job with that optic looks sick.
This is the type of m0r0n to sell his hundred anchored inherited land that goes back to 7 generations
Initially I was sick with rage at what you were doing with that, but I am glad I finished the video and saw that you didn't really defile that beautifully kept artifact.
OMFG. I can't believe. Should have made a display with the firearm and all the paperwork. The hairitege and the fact that it has never been shot.
Colt 2023 pocket hammerless is the perfect name for this gun
If anyone else has something they want to have displayed for many to see they can contact The Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, Idaho.
Can you make a video on the Kel Tec PMR 30?
The idea of modding a pristine piece of history hurt me all the way to my soul. I'm glad you didn't do it
Ah, the Whistling Diesel of guns I see.
I’ve got a FN 1900 John Browings first “hammerless” semi auto pistol. I also received from “grandfather” from my in-laws. Neat pieces of history.
This is the kind of chaotic neutral content that I subscribed for
Personally, if I got the chance, I would ABSOLUTELY HOARD historical weapons if given the chance
Damn. I'm mad that you didn't. I'm madder you chose a romeo zero. Sig could pay me a $100 a day to carry one on my pistol and I'd rather find a rock to throw at someone in a gunfight than hope that polymer pos could survive my adrenaline fueled orangutan grip.
Bro changed the title of the video lol
Up next on HBO "frogeye for the straight guy" 😂💯😎. Why did they even bother with holsters with the advent of short shorts?
I like it
I always thought you were a moron, this confirms that thought.
I’d trade my 43x for it right now
I Knew you were Bullshittin about that Pristine pistol 😅. Had me worried tho…🤔😂😂😂
I threw up in my mouth!
Honestly, I kinda hope it surpasses his glock as an EDC
A slightly updated Colt 2023 would be sick. Also I knew you didn’t molest that piece of history and heirloom, but good try you sneaky devil
I have one of these totally covered in rust that my uncle left me decades ago. Maybe I should get it fixed after all
it is sad buuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttt it looks fucking dope
James- As much as that gorgeous 1903 seems like it might be a perfect museum piece, it's actually not. Museums exist to tell stories and histories, and (in theory) every artifact on display should contribute to the particular story they are trying to tell. This usually means that important provenance, notable ownership, and involvement in historically significant events are far and away more important than the condition, preservation, or documentation of the artifact itself. To put it another way- a rustbucket battlefield bringback in a rotted holster and no papers, used in a pivotal battle by a decorated hero, would be more valuable to a museum than an unfired NIB piece like yours.
What you've got is a collector's trophy, not a museum artifact.
I will setup a museum and will accept your donation so I can display it so I can look at it uhm I mean the public can look at it
Mann yu had me pissed off for like 15 minutes
