Default Too Cold for Snakes

At 16 degrees the snakes are inside hibernating until it warms a few days from now.

Glad to see snakes have nothing to do with this great gun!

Bruce,

Interesting. Do you have any history on the gun especially the engraving?

Just the way it is. Snakes are not that rare in engraving.
Factory engraved and stocked Colt.

My five month old setter must like them. She brought home a dead and frozen copperhead today.

The safety button on this gun is great. And i love the Celtic weave on the bottom edge of the frame.

Its a Dragon if you look close spewing forth whatever? stylized flames? his tail also fades into the scroll. I dont think snakes have ears
