Patton’s obvious preference was for revolvers, but during WWII he did also carry a<a href="http://www.guns.com/2011/06/17/the-known-and-lesser-known-carry-guns-of-george-s-patton/reviews/handguns.html?manufacturer=36&price=0&user_rating=0&Caliber=0&Action=0&Size=0"> Colt Pocket Model hammerless</a>, as well as a <a href="http://www.guns.com/2011/06/17/the-known-and-lesser-known-carry-guns-of-george-s-patton/reviews/handguns.html?manufacturer=24&price=0&user_rating=0&Caliber=0&Action=0&Size=0">Remington Model 51 .380</a>. It was with the Remington that he shot at a Luftwaffe airplane, as it was attempting to strafe his encampment. He was also known to carry a <a href="http://www.guns.com/2011/06/17/the-known-and-lesser-known-carry-guns-of-george-s-patton/reviews/handguns.html?manufacturer=36&price=0&user_rating=0&Caliber=0&Action=0&Size=0">Colt Detective Special .38 revolver</a>. All of his handguns, with the possible exception of the Remington, had the ivory grips, and some were inlaid with the initials “GSP” and had the stars of a U.S. Army general. Many American soldiers and officers, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Bradley">General Omar Bradley,</a> carried the Colt M1911 semi-automatic pistol, But General Patton only carried the 1911 on rare occasions. During the North African campaigns, Major General Walter Bedell Smith, a close colleague of Patton, carried a <a href="http://www.guns.com/2011/06/17/the-known-and-lesser-known-carry-guns-of-george-s-patton/reviews/handguns.html?manufacturer=36&price=0&user_rating=0&Caliber=0&Action=0&Size=0">Colt Model 03</a> in a shoulder holster. But Patton was never known to have carried the 03.<img src="http://14544-presscdn-0-64.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/patton-remington1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />la Colt 1903 fue hasta después de la posguerra la "general officer pistol", cuando ascendían a general se la entregaban con su nombre grabado mas un cinturón especial.</blockquote>
