Hobby Collecting: .45 ACP

avatar

         I've been anticipating this piece's arrival this week. It's going into my silver collection along with my usual acquisitions.

         Yes, I meant the silver bullets I have mentioned time and again in the past. This time, I managed to swipe some .45 ACPs. Like with other silver bullets and shells, these are not real ammunition . In fact, you can't fire it even if you tried. The bullet here is solid silver. No need to ruin your Colt for fun.

         Pieces like this have been hard to come by. They disappear as soon as they become available on the market. A friend and I were able to secure a dozen of them. When we made the purchase, the product was then out of stock.

         All the undead and jokes about the unholy aside, there are still several more silver bullets I would like to get. For example, the .308 Winchester and 0.50 BMG, which come in reasonable weight in silver. I'll most likely skip the bigger ones like 30mm autocannon and beyond.

         Since we are here, feel free to read up more on the .45 ACP.

         This piece is also significant given my location. The inventor of .45 ACP, John Browning, was Utahan. It almost feels like collecting a part of history, even though it only captures the image of it.

I love the silver ammo. I have a 308 and 45. They're a very cool part of a collection

I think they are cool too!

I'm not entirely sure if I would ever sell them off.

I love these bullets, I have seen pictures of them several time but do not have any yet myself. Eventually that will change and I will have a few different silver bullets. Thanks for sharing

My dad has an old machine gun shell from an M-60 that he got when he was in Vietnam. Too bad that wasn't made of solid silver. It could be worth a fortune! :) Nice snag those look really cool!

I've always wanted to fire a M-60.

But yeah, these silver bullets are pretty cool.
