Portfolio: Graphics (Fictional TZ Universe Colt Handguns)

Here are images of Colt handguns I made for the TZ universe.

See Also: closely related pages from the fictional TZ universe are Aerospace ( Civilian Aircraft, Military Aircraft, Pilot Wings, Spacecraft, & Emblems ), Batons, Blades, & Bullets ( Batons, Handguns, Handgun/Knife Sets, Blades, & Letter Openers ), Jewelry ( Army Emblems, Handgun Emblems, Medical Emblems, Naval Emblems, & Other Jewelry ), Flags, Miscellaneous Images, Queen Victoria Ⅱ’s Gifts, Signs, and Tartans.

Note: older images were created using older, obsolete techniques, and therefore are considerably cruder and — if only time were available — should and would have been updated.

There are two sets of Colt handguns listed here: guns made by Colt; and guns made for Colt by GWL.

Handguns Made by Colt 

This depicts six handguns made by Colt:

• Colt .22 Woodsman Ⅱ Match Target
• Colt .38 Special Police Ⅱ–Ⅳ
• Colt .357 Élite Magnum Ⅰ & Ⅱ
• Colt .357 Élite Ultra
• Colt .429 Ultra
• Colt .45 National Match Ⅱ

Those preferred by Sarah have a cobalt-pewter coating with a blue blush. Many crafted by Jude Clayton have bluing which is coloured steel-blue.

Colt .22 Woodsman Ⅱ Match Target 

Sarah used this .22 match semi-automatic before GWL made .22’s; it has a 20 cm (7.87″) barrel (originally 16.8 cm — 6 5/8″); it can be loaded with a magazine with 10 rounds of .22LR cartridges, with an 11^th round in the chamber The 2^nd gun is the same gun, but with the Jude Clayton monogrammed grip::

Colt .38 Special Police Ⅱ–Ⅳ 

Colt .38 Special Police Ⅱ

The RCMP used this .38 Special revolver before it switched to Special Police Ⅲ’s in 1995; it had a 15 cm (5.91″) barrel; it can be loaded with 6 rounds of .38 or .38 Special cartridges:

Colt .38 Special Police Ⅲ

The RCMP used this .38 Special semi-automatic from 1995 before it switched to Hammerheads; the standard model had a 15 cm (5.91″) barrel; the second model pictured, a match handgun accurized by Jude Clayton in the brilliant blue beloved by many gunmen, has a 20 cm (7.87″) barrel; it can be loaded with 7 rounds of .38 or .38 Special cartridges.

Colt .38 Special Police Ⅳ

Colt produced this double-stacked match .38 Special in 2014 in a failed attempt to stop losing market share to GWL; it can be loaded with 13 rounds of .38 Special cartridges.

Colt .357 Élite Magnum Ⅰ & Ⅱ 

Sarah never used these .357 revolvers, the predecessors to the Colt .357 Élite Ultra; the Magnum II was sold when the Ultra appeared, and many preferred it to the Ultra, since the Ultra was more costly, many would never fire Ultra cartridges, and many didn’t like the heavier weight of the Ultra; the Magnum Ⅰ could be loaded with 6 rounds of .38, .38 Special, or .357 Magnum cartridges, and the Magnum Ⅱ with 7 rounds:

Colt .357 Élite Magnum Ⅰ

This appeared in 1965:

Colt .357 Élite Magnum Ⅱ

This appeared in mid-July 2005, at the same time as the Ultra:

Colt .357 Élite Ultra 

Sarah used this .357 match revolver before GWL made Hammerheads, and continued to use it when Hammerhead .357 SIG was inadequate; it has a 20 cm (7.87″) barrel; it can be loaded with 7 rounds of .38, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, or .357 Ultra cartridges. These 6 guns are the same gun with different grips, the 1^st being the original grip, the 2^nd with the Jude Clayton logo, the 3^rd immediately replacing it, the 4^th being the grip installed after Canada-TZ adopted the maple-leaf flag, the 5^th after the hammerheads appeared, and the 6^th when acting as a Mohawk; the knife was Sarah’s original 18 cm hunting knife:

Colt .429 Ultra 

Sarah used this .429 match revolver before GWL made .429 handguns. It has a 25 cm (9.84″) barrel; it can be loaded with 7 rounds of .44, .44 Special, .429 magnum, or .429 ultra cartridges. The S/N is U0000001: a prize for winning a Colt competition. The two guns are the same, just with different grips. NB: Colt hired Sarah to design elements of the revolver, applying her artistic skills, to make it more attractive, and hired her to supply megafauna skulls, to enable Colt to craft a re­volver that would be effective against the megafauna.

Colt .45 National Match Ⅱ 

Sarah used this heavily modified .45 match semi-automatic before GWL made .45’s; it has a 20 cm (7.87″) barrel (originally 12.7 cm — 5″), with a longer grip and magazine to hold an extra round, and a heavier barrel; it can be loaded with a magazine with 8 rounds of .45 cartridges, with a 9^th round in the chamber. The 2^nd gun is the same gun, but with the Jude Clayton monogrammed grip:

Handguns Made by GWL for Colt 

This depicts two handguns made by GWL for Colt:

• Colt Elite Ⅲ
• Colt Woodsman Ⅲ

Colt Elite Ⅲ 

This .357 Magnum Elite Ⅲ with 15 cm (5.9″) barrel, with an 8-round magazine (compatible with the Hammerhead single-stack ma­ga­zine), is made for Colt by Gardner Weaponry. It is almost as accurate as a Gardner Hammerhead, with its accuracy reduced because it has iron sights rather than crystal sights. And it lacks a com­pen­sator.

Limited colour themes are available: 1 steel, 2 dark copper, 3 teal, and 4 dark blued steel. Gardner offers a pistol painting printer to re­colour these guns, but the printer supports only the authorized colour themes.

The grip panels can’t be changed, nor can crystal sights be easily mounted.

Colt Woodsman Ⅲ 

This .22LR Woodsman Ⅲ with 15 cm (5.9″) barrel, with an 10-round magazine (compatible with the Woodsman Ⅱ magazine), is made for Colt by Gardner Weaponry. It is almost as accurate as a Gardner .22, with its accuracy reduced because it has iron sights rather than crystal sights. And it lacks a compensator.

Limited colour themes are available: 1 steel, 2 steel and gra­phite, 3 charcoal, 4 copper, 5 teal, 6 blued steel, and 7 dark blued steel. Gardner offers a pistol painting printer to recolour these guns, but the printer supports only the authorized colour themes.

The grip panels can’t be changed, nor can crystal sights be easily mounted.
