So I won a Colt Competition 01970CCS on GunBroker for $900. I wasn't looking to buy a Colt, but was comparing the SA Garrison to some comparable Colt models when I ran across the auction and it was sitting at $869 with about 7 hours left, so I bid it up to $900 just on a whim and I win it. So what do you think of the Colt Comp?

I must think pretty highly of it....I carry one around with me every day. Congratulations on your purchase. If yours is anything like mine you'll be very happy with it.

Good guns.

Good enough for government work.

You got a decent price if shipping wasn’t too high, I recently bought one for $935 at a local store. Mine seems to be good quality, had a few hiccups with the oem colt mag, but wc, cmc and Springfield mags worked fine. Mine has a near 5# trigger, not going to carry it, it will be a range target handgun so I have a c&s kit on order.

I bought one a month ago and it is reliable, accurate, pretty and has a slide/frame for that is equal to the best Dan Wessons I've owned.
I've never had a Colt that had a slide/frame fit that I felt was acceptable until this one.

I've had mine a little more than four years. It's not for sale.

Congratulations on your purchase. Hopefully you will be as happy for yours as much as I am with mine

My first pistol was a Colt Competition in .45 ACP. I wanted a 1911, it had to be a Colt, and it had to be a .45. The Competition ticked all those boxes, plus it had a beaver tail and adjustable rear sights at a very reasonable price. It's still one of my favorite pistols.

Thanks for the feedback, I was really not ready to buy but I'm getting excited after reading the positive responses. Should be here next Thurs-Friday

Great 1911.

When you can buy a Colt at under MSRP, it’s a good day.

Love mine, you need at least 1 Colt 1911. I won't criticize mine, it isn't perfect [yet] but it is a fine pistol. Shoots very well.

They are some of the best production line pistols Colt makes!

I just wrote a review on mine:

Colt Competition Pistol Review

I have been looking for a 1911 to use for IDPA in CDP division (45auto). I have been shooting a Glock 21 the past few years and have won division champion more than once at state level matches, but at Nationals with many more competitors, I’m always getting beat by guys with 1911’s. In my...

I did not like a few things about mine at first (bad trigger and safety), but after some work to it, I love it now.

Good shooters.

Picked it up yesterday and it was filthy with oil, just like the RIA I bought, soaked! Cleaned it up and got it ready for some break in this morning. One early observation is the trigger is crap! There is a small glitch just before it breaks that has got to be fixed. I had a SA LW Operator that did it and it was the sear and disconnector not mating well, had some Ed Brown components swapped in and done deal. Really like the fit and finish of it, it's the Blued version and it nicely done.
I will report back on the range session and keep you updated on the pistols progression during break in.

Colt does things their way, the barrel is machined a little differently and there are the 2 recoil springs. A few other things also, The 2 recoil springs seems like a good idea. I've already replaced the trigger and did a trigger job on it. I really like it, shoots great!

I run this Colt for USPSA Single Stack. I do have a backup but I have not needed to employ the backup. So that speaks to durability of the gun, at least for me it does. I have a little over 2000 rounds through it.
