For over four decades, COLT has remained one of the most important voices in male erotica. Founded in New York in 1967 by photographer Jim French, COLT has since launchednumerous spin-off lines including BUCKSHOT, the COLT Minute Man Solo Series, Olympus Studios, and COLT Publications (which produces the greeting cards and calendars seen in gay and mainstream shops around the world.) After it’s New York beginnings, COLT was based in Los Angeles for a quarter of a century before finally moving to its current home in San Francisco. In 2003,founder Jim French finally felt he had found two successors whom he could trust to carry on his legacy and he sold the studio to longtime admirers Tom Rutherford and Tom Settle. On Feb 23, 2007, Mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom actually signed a declaration that officially made it “COLT Studio Day” in honor of the profound contribution COLT has made to male erotica and gay culture. After defining a genre, COLT has continued to innovate and flourish under it’s new owners with cutting edge online services and a steady stream of new COLT men. Here are some of our favorites for 2010!
CARLO MASI
For many fans, Carlo Masi has become one of the iconic faces that immediately spring to mind when they think of COLT. There’s something special about this Italian stallion and fans just can’t seem to get enough of him. There have been some amazing Italian guys in the COLT stable of models over the years, but Carlo’s excellent performances as both a top and a bottom have made him stand out in every one of his roles. Unfortunately for U.S. fans, Carlo lives in Rome. We’re not sure why, but somehow that makes him even hotter! He does come to the U.S. to shoot a new film at least once a year though. So who knows, maybe you’ll run into him in San Francisco one day!

LUKE GARRETT
He may look a little bit tough and scary at first with all of his muscles and his smooth, sexy head, but Luke Garrett is actually a gentle giant. In fact, he’d much rather fuck your ass than kick it! He has an infectious smile that’s impossible to resist plus the perfect mix of manliness and natural, irrepressible charisma. It’s a winning combination that makes both fans and COLT co-stars swoon.

CHRIS WIDE
With his stacked body and his intense presence, Chris Wide is like a well-oiled German machine. He’s powerful and efficient, but he won’t hurt you if you just respect him. That’s the same thing they told us when we saw our first printing press! His huge stature and his bulging muscles command complete attention. In each of his scenes, it’s clear that Chris is in charge as he manages to dominate his partners whether he’s the top or the bottom.

GAGE WESTON
For many fans of COLT men, Gage Weston has become a modern icon. He’s got bulging muscles, just a hint of trimmed fur on his chest, and a youthful look that is immediately disarming. Gage is one COLT marine who knows not to use sex as a weapon. Next to his sexy, adorable face, we think his perfect ass is one of his best assets and he definitely knows how to use it!

ADAM CHAMP
If you’ve spent your life searching for the perfect hairy daddy, we may have just found him for you. You’ll have to stand in line, since fans around the world are drooling over this guy – but it’s well worth the wait! Adam is COLT’s resident Latin lover from Argentina. With his thick, dark chest hair and his authoritative aura, Adam has a timeless look that has made him a fan favorite and an instant COLT Icon.

TOM CHASE
If Adam Champ is our favorite hairy daddy, then Tom Chase is our favorite muscle bear. Tom has been in the industry forever (although you’d think he was a newbie if you were going by his young appearance) but it wasn’t until he became a COLT Man that he really found his true niche and started to really shine. His huge tool and his insatiable sexual appetite are two of his hallmarks and neither we nor the fans can seem to get enough of him.
Tom appears in: Open House, Minute Man 29, Waterbucks 2, Couples 3, Naked Muscles, Inside Out
MITCH BRANSON
Mitch is a lean, mean, sex machine with an amazing ass that you could almost set a drink on! When you see the veins in his arms, you immediately know that this guy is solid muscle, but it’s his hairy chest that helps to give him that special edge that truly drives fans wild.

JAKE ANDREWS
Jake Andrews is another porn star who had worked in the industry for years before coming to COLT. Fans already loved him, but when he signed on to become a COLT man, it allowed fans to see him in a whole new light and brought him even more admirers. Jake just seems to get hotter and hotter every year and more talented with his cocksucking skills. If you’re not already a COLT fan, you will be once you see Jake in action!
