    Well, I finally got ahold of Colt's newest release in the 1911 space, the Colt's Model 01911SE-A1. As a card-carrying member of the Colt's Fanboi Club, it was a "must have", especially after seeing that this new model sports a ring hammer. For some general information, this pistol is a standard...

    Sometimes I remember to remind myself the value of a five inch 1911 in 45 ACP. Like gentle recoil. Like to shoot a gun that tries to shoot itself? Shoot a 1911 with a five inch slide. Need to hide some of your cosmetic flaws behind the trigger? Shoot a five inch. Want to see sights that drop...

    Is it possible that Colt will ever make a double stack 1911/2011? Would they ever attempt a deviation from the classic design?

    I believe many addicts have seen a custom 1950 Colt commander on collector firearms website and wonder whose custom work is this. Can anyone identify it? https://www.collectorsfirearms.com/search?controller=search&s=C17601&category_dropdown_id=All+Products

    I thought I have done buying my birth year colts. But I still need two more for two of our renowned custom builders. Prefer the combat commander in any 3 calibers but also consider government size. Thanks!

    I searched and didn’t see this come up… I am seeing certain vendors on gunbroker with imported Colts here and there and they’re in pretty good condition. They seem to be available at a discount to similar models and conditions from the same time frame. All the ones I’ve seen are from the...

    Had some 1976 Colt base guns to complete my birth year custom set. Still need a couple more for additional custom builds. Thanks for looking and consideration. Since I have a couple of Wilson Supergrades coming, I can trade my Wilson experior Doublestack commander blackout edition with SRO for...

    Some readers may recall that in the Spring of '21 I got the unexpected chance to buy Colt from an old mentor's estate through his adopted son who knew of our connection. The man was an Army veteran who served multiple tours in Vietnam and elsewhere throughout a long career. We met when I became...

    I’m new here, so my apologies if I’ve put this in the wrong place, but I could sure use some help. I’ve been searching for 1911A1 parts for my CMP Remington Rand (and others) for at least a year now, with absolutely no success. Tried all the big name sites (E-Bay, Gunbroker, Numrich, etc.)...

    No affiliation. No bids. Opening is $899 and would make a good base gun for custom work IMO. https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/912758982

    So I've got a dilemma. I'm mostly through this restoration of my dad's Colt 1911 .45 originally made by Al Dinan back in the '70s or early '80s. It has been worked over with some of the best modern parts by a professional gunsmith who builds guns for shooters you would recognize. It shoots...

    What time period at Colt produced the highest quality 1911s? I continually find myself drawn to the guns built in the 20s, 30s and 40s. To my eye, the lines on the 1911 guns in the 30s were exceptional and seem to have steadily gone downhill reaching a downward peak in the 70s. I will say the...

    I have been watching this one for a while now. He started by listing it at $1200. Now $1150. I have bought one pistol from this same seller and I know he competed and shot his 1911s a good bit, but this one looks good in the pics. It is a Series 70 from 1977. Any info would be appreciated. Sorry...

    They realize that a nice 1911 is a good weapon for personal protection. They feel they can buy one that will last beyond their lifetime. My best one is here:

    I am looking to purchase a stainless Colt 1911 Government in .38 Super. This is for a build--so I am open to new or used (potential newer models include "1911 Classic" and "Competition"). Please let me know if you have something you'd be willing to sell. Thanks.

    This is a very clean 1979 Colt MKIV/Series 70 45ACP. I am the 2nd owner however it has only been fired by the original owner who bought it new in 1979. I am not great at taking pictures and she is a beauty in person. The original owner said less than 500 rounds down the pipe and he is a...

    So, I purchased this Colt about a month ago thinking I would never find the "specific date" Colt I wanted for sentimental reasons. This one was one year off the mark, but I was ok with that. Fast-forward….I found the Colt and date I want. Now I need to fund that purchase since I don't have the...
