Hey there. I need a gun. I was looking for a colt 45 or something. I checked greylight and the wwII site but there is just glocks and walthers. I need a WWII american colt 45 or something ... Think The Shadow or something .. pure pulp stuff. Thanks

I do not remember seeing one, but I think what you want is a Colt Automatic model 1911. It was used from WWI thru Vietnam. I think to many a Colt 45 refers to a revolver, introduced by Sam Colt himself sometime around or just after the Civil War. It is one of the most famous handguns of the American West (The Great Equalizer).

There's a whole selection of weopons at 3d Cafe, and I'm fairly sure there's a Colt automatic there. Failing that, you could try Greylight as Chris suggests. Paul

I built a Colt Delta automatic in RDS a while back and converted it to poser. It holds up ok. If you'd like it, email me at ratta@ratta.com. --ratta

jje ... Great gun but it is German. Wanted a gun to fight nazi's. Jaager. That is the one. As you can tell I am not really up on my gun stuff. I tried Greylight they didn't have the one I was looking for. Thanks ratta ... I would really appreciate it

I thought there was a Colt at the Props Guild, or maybe on a member site somewhere; I don't know guns well, but I'm fairly sure I've seen one somewhere.

I checked there and at Greylight and in free stuff before I asked ... If there is it isnt in the main site at props guild ... There is a nice ppk there but that is German and kinda shorter than I wanted. Might just end up using one of the German guns but I am doing an old pulp thing fighting Nazis ...

No one can find a Colt 45 Automatic? I'm astounded! ... Ok, just found this one on an old backup disk. Downloaded it two years ago, before I knew enough to keep track of the original sources and there's no readme in the zip. 
Perhaps someone will recognize the thumb and point you to the site. If not, I can email. It's .3DS.

here's some other stuff I DL'd on the same night that looks like it came from the same site. Again, perhaps someone will recognize the source. Kinda looks like Greylight, but I can't get in there right now.

I was thinking the same thing... I just don't know enough about guns to say if a glock is close enought though with the reference shot WarloKK found I might be able to fudge it. I was thinking it would be an easy thing too but no luck. Don't recognize the site Nance.

http://www.baument.com Yea, those thumbs are some of our stuff. We've had a 45 on there for over a year. Hope it helps you out! Ed

Thanks Ed. Updated my records accordingly. Guess I'll need to take a stroll through your entire site again. Seems I've forgotten some of the great stuff you've got there!
