I was watching 100 Rifles on TV about a week ago and i'm pretty sure I saw front cocking serrations on the Colts, if thats the case it means they are early Sporting models and a true gem with the nickel and pearl grips. I thought it was wierd there was no IMFDB page for the movie with the allstar cast (Jim Brown, Racquel Welch, and Burt Reynolds for crying out loud!) and abundance of interesting firearms.

Do they still make .38 ACP?
- PCI still loads it on Graf brass, but it's pretty cheap ammo. I've used it in my 1903 and gotten lots of jams. - Nyles

Could this fire stronger/larger ammunition?
Would it, theoretically, be possible to convert a Colt M1902 to fire ammunition such as .38 Long Colt or .38 Special? And if you couldn't convert it, could you build one from scratch that can hold and fire it, without any changes in appearance? Z008MJ (talk) 18:58, 20 November 2012 (EST)
- I don't think either of those work well in automatics due to the rim. One possibility would be .38 Super, as this is physically the same case as the old .38 ACP but with a heavier loading. Of course these would be unsafe to fire in a Model 1902, but you could use light loads. If you were building one from scratch with modern techniques and materials (and a few tweaks to the internal design probably) I see no obvious reason why you couldn't make an outwardly identical gun that could fire full power rounds. --commando552 (talk) 19:58, 20 November 2012 (EST)
