Bought one of the new repro 1911A1s today. Looks good and a pretty good repro at that. Checkered hammer, safety, and slide release...checkering a little coarse on the safety and slide, though. All the authentic markings, but the serial number does not pick up from the war-time production. Does have u-shaped rear sight. Now we shall see how it shoots.

Does it even have the Property US Government on it?

The gun is marked "US ARMY" in front of the slide stop on the right side of the gun.

Some close-up pics would be nice. If necessary I can host the photos for you if you e-mail them to me.

After reading this I went to the Colt webpage to look at this and am now completely bummed out.
I want one. And I want a Python too...
Anyone know where I can find some prices and dealers? (Tomorow I will start calling around the local shops here in Seattle.)

The 1991A1 when originally introduced, picked up with the military serial number from wartime production. Forgot to say, Congrats!

Sam

$$??

 

[Claybob]

Paid $929. Could be better, could be worse. I'm one of those guys who hates to tell someone what I paid for something because then I hear how they paid less....Oh well...doesn't matter....had to have it.

I have a mental picture of your gun in my head. So your going to make it a shooter huh? Lets hear the results of the firing test. Thanks for letting us know, as your the first i've heard of to own one. Makes you original, I think the price you paid is good. Good for you Claybob, on your Colt pistol. P.S. I hate you
