1921A Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Colt21A Amen! I too enjoyed it over the years. It was pure pleasure to track down a 21 and make a deal, but most of all, I loved the history behind them. I travelled all over the eastern U.S. looking for guns and accessories. It'll never be same again. 1921A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
