The Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless

A decade or so ago I had the opportunity to completely rebuild one of these that had been welded up for use as a hoster-makers form. I had to cut the top half off with a Dremel and replace it with stuff from eBay, but I DID get it working again and it's a fun shooter (or would be with better sights).
 
I've never had a problem with the smallish sights at the range they were designed to be utilized at. I find them to be very accurate and very reliable. I have a couple of nice examples from 1924 and I can see why they were a favorite concealed carry gun by those on both sides of the law back in the day.

I wonder if it's documented that Patton really did that or if it's movie fiction?

As a young man, Patton competed in pentathlon events, which included pistol shooting, and he would practice for hours on end on his trigger pull techniques with his strong hand and off-hand positions. Patton’s obvious preference was for revolvers, but during WWII he did also carry a Colt Pocket Model hammerless, as well as a Remington Model 51 .380.
