My dad found this for me at a gun show a few weeks ago- it's a Colt M1917 .45ACP. Sometime during its life it was parkerized (for WWII maybe?)- it's my Indy gun until I find a suitable S&W.

It's the standard 5.5". I may swap out barrels if I can find a 4", but I don't want to cut this one down.

I could be mistaken but I believe Indy used a Colt in Temple of Doom, so it could be somewhat screen accurate.

I'm real pleased with it- about a month earlier at another show he missed out on a real nice S&W 1917 for $350. He has much better luck at shows than I do- seems I can't find any old revolvers for less than the $600 you mentioned.

Here's a couple of other Indy-ish guns I have. An FEG PJK-9HP (Browning Hi-Power clone) and a Uberti Cattleman (Colt SAA clone).
