Some of the guns I've seen come from Colt lately are not very good. I have actually seen some new Rock Islands that are better built than some Colts.
I bought a 1991 1911 about a yr ago and can say this firearm is an awesome shooter. Now mind you, I don't go over them with a magnifying glass and a dental pick. Its a really good shooter, has a good trigger, fit and finish is 2nd to none.
Is it a series 80??
My mid 90's Colts were good pieces.
If I ask.....what is your budget for this. Just curious as there may be other options depending.
