colt .380

Wanted to inject some movement in this forum. Who out there owns the old colt hammerless in .380 cal and what they think of them? I have owned one for about 6 years. I originally bought it for a used carry gun. (pawn shop) When I researched the four digit serial number it revealed it was made either in the last 6 months of 1911 or the first 6 months of 1912. So from then on it became a safe queen. I have been watching for a cheap one (.32 auto perhaps) with a bad finish, that I can refinish. Does anyone out there have good/bad experiences with the .32 autos?
