There are very few sales online. Led me know if you find two 😉

 

A couple on gun broker, not sure the prices are right🤑

 

Nice guns,

 

Depends on what you want. I like mine but bought it for a base gun build. Loved the rollmarks. Its a solid basic 1911. But if your going to change parts out you might consider something else.

 

I'm new to shooting and 1911s but have 9mm Sig 1911 and think its a pretty good shooter. Also have a Glock G45...I said I was new to this, lol. Just looking around I get the feeling that .45ACP and Colt are classic 1911 characteristics, so I'm going to buy one, to shoot. If I was a collector I'm sure I could go broke trying to acquire so many beautiful 1911s. I'm pretty far away from building or changing parts and such. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated

 

They're nice guns and a great no-frills 1911. They were bargain priced when they came out, i should have picked one up.

 

It's a solid pistol, picked one up about a year ago. No-frills is on the money, when you see things like "high-cut front strap" or "lowered ejection port" and wonder "higher cut than what? lowered as compared to what?" this is pistol is the baseline.

 

I haven't had a Sig 1911 yet but everything I hear is they shoot great, and I love shooting P series Sigs. That's a nice, classic Colt model. I found this place online showing them in stock. I have never done business with them, so buyer beware, but maybe someone on here has experience with them.

Seems way too inexpensive but I may check them out. Thanks for the info

 

I'm of the opinion every 1911 enthusiast should own a Colt.

 

As cop_out said, every American gun enthusiast should own a Colt 1911. My favorite, don't care what you nay sayers think

Bought my classic for a custom build, its at NHC , where its been for quite sometime, these are strange times. I know that a couple weeks ago it went out for finish, so any day now, I'm sure

 

I picked up my Classic for $675 about 6 months after they were released ...should have bought a few of them at that price

 

Think they're about twice that now

 

I have one. It’s a nice gun. I bought it because I wanted a Colt back in the collection, as I’d previously sold all mine off.

Yeah, pretty much sold out but there are a couple on gunbroker.com
Not sure I wanna pay the premium. A few dollars sure but hhundreds? Think I'll wait.
Appreciate the help

 

I bought 2 Classics in 45, a 9mm Gold cup and a classic and Gold cup in 38 Super along with a 9mm Competition and a Bright Blue Colt custom . all in the last year

These have proved to be great guns for the money and I love the old school roll marks . Triggers have all been able to be set at 3-3.5 lbs with existing factory parts . I ordered Harrison Ignition kits but saved them for other projects as the stock parts worked well for my purposes.

I did change out recoil springs as they weakened quickly also on the 9mm and 38 supers I installed EGW firing pins that inhibit primer flow and shearing . On the 45s I put in original series 70 firing pins as they come with 80 series pins and extractors .

Beyond that I have shot the heck out of them and they feed everything from Wads to Hardball with 100% reliability and excellent accuracy

 

I bought a plain Jane Colt Government S70, then 3 months later I saw advertisements for the classic model for the same price. 20 years before I finally pulled the trigger on my first 1911 purchase, and within months Colt comes out with a slightly improved version. Love my Government model, but I'd still like to own a classic as well some day.

 

Betcha your gun is essentially the same. As someone said, everything you need, nothing you don't. Enjoy it!

 

Very nice!
