Went to the gunstore today determined to purchase a 1911 style pistol, being completely new to them (except for a Para-Ordnance abomination). All I really wanted was a simple, no frills pistol. I kept looking at the SA mil-spec, but I didn't like that the frame was made in Brazil. I looked at some Colt 1991s, but they all had the old rollmark that I don't care for all that well. Well to make a long story short I ended up getting a NIB Colt WW2 reproduction 1911A1. The thing is simply beautiful. It came in a nice Blue carboard box with a Colt logo on it, inside of it was a small, brown, and very simple box that contained some mags and the pistol, wrapped in wax paper.
The only downside was the price was much more than I wanted to spend. Is this model more expensive because of limited numbers or what? I don't really care that much, cause I ain't ever selling it.
So, whats the word on these pistols? Someone please offer some reassuring words to make me feel better after dumping so much cash...
Anyone else have one? If so, is it a shooter or what?
Thanks everyone!
