So I have a 01911 Carbonia blue which has been shot and is not a perfect NIB collector piece. I shoot it a couple times a year because I like to shoot everything but it is not in the regular rotation. I still have the outer box and the blue custom shop box so long term there is some collector value I guess.
I am looking at building a Retro sleeper 1911 for my next build. Something like this. I was considering a new 01911C with the new rollmarks and NM barrel but I keep thinking the Carbonia blue would be even more special. Am I crazy to use the somewhat collectible O1911 Carbonia?
