Looks like a Stainless slide and aluminum frame.

I think when bonus comes around next month, I'll ship him the coach's gun he wants...Nothing fancy, American made, dual hammers, dual triggers. With a big hug.

The manual says Colt Blue, but you are correct, stainless slide, over aluminum frame. I think he paid around $450 back in '93.

Seems they have appreciated in value, but that matters not, as it is, and will remain in the family...Funny thing was, my son actually thought my Walther, (which he loves) was going away.....(got to remind the youth about real family traditions and future heirlooms sometimes).... :P

Thanks again to all. I think it will be a .380 day at the indoor range this weekend.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

 ???  That's what I meant when I asked if it was an alloy frame. I think that's what makes it a "Pocketlite".
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

Pocketlite does mean aluminum frame and brings the weight down to 12.5os, which while heavier than the LCP and 3AT, puts it in contention for a possible Pajama Pocket gun.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Yeah, I actually sent him an email a few years back about that.  He laughed saying I wasn't the first to 'bust his chops'.  Said in doing searches magazine usually comes up for print magazines so he used clip.

He is a good guy and does have a good supply and will get back to you if you back order or ask about something.

Great story and pistol. The last one I saw at a gun show the dealer wanted $800 for it. Looking forward to a range report.

Nice, quality .380. Much better than the lower cost Polymer .380's that are flooding the current market.  Bill T.
