This video delves into Colt's Prototype Post-War Pocket Hammerless Model M, a fascinating attempt to revive the iconic pistol design after World War II. Facing challenges with worn tooling and a lack of experienced labor, Colt experimented with a new iteration. This prototype retained the fixed barrel and blowback action of the original but incorporated external features reminiscent of the 1911, including a grip safety, thumb safety, slide release, and updated sights. Ultimately, this modernized version never entered full production, with Colt later releasing the Pony as its next .380 ACP offering. The video explores the historical context and design evolution of this rare piece.
