Definitely looks nice, However the one I saw was not equal of a Springfield or Kimber. Nice roll marks, but the quality on the one I examined was lacking. I, too have been ignored by Colt at numerous S.H.O.T, NRA, and IACP shows. I've also never had a call returned nor correspondance answered. I was a die hard Colt fan, I wanted Colt Custom Shop products. I've never seen a company excel as Colt has in driving away customers. IMHO it may be easier to find a original pre 70 Colt, and definitely cheaper.
