I’m looking at purchasing a Colt O1911C that comes with a NM barrel. I’ve located one for under $700.00 dollars. Does anyone own one and what are your thoughts and experiences with them?

Russell,
Welcome to the fold. I'm new here also. You'll find a wealth of information, experience and good people.
I unfortunately cannot assist with your question.
Good luck on your research.

Thanks. I’ve been into 1911’s years. I saw them on GB and for the price and with a NM barrel, I have to have one.
Another member here recommended “GunPrime”. That’s a good call, $655.00 dollars for a new Colt.

I picked up an o1911c about a month ago. I've only been able to put 150 or so rounds thru it but so far I've found nothing to complain about. I think for the money it's a good deal and I like the retro slide markings.

Welcome,
I’m curious on these also, locally a few Blued and Stainless have showed up but
Pricing is mid to high 700 Mark
I believe besides the NM barrel, the ejection port has been lowered and the sights are a slight improvement over the S70 retro which I believe this pistol is replacing in colts lineup.

They're out there on the interwebs starting in the mid-$600s. They're essentially the same gun as the Series 70 reissues except for rollmarks, MSH, barrel, hammer finish, and a couple of other minor differences, and the S70s are great guns. I may have to buy a Classic on principle at those prices.

It's a nice gun. I didn't like the thumb safety on mine, but that is typical for Colts. I also like to look a Colt over before I buy it, but that is just because I'm picky about straight lines, machining, etc.

I have one and I like it quite a bit more than the 2 Series 70 reproductions I've owned. Whoever put mine together did a very good job. I'm sure the Union goons will want this person to slack off like the rest of them.

I cleaned it, lubed it and ran 200 rounds through it, including 230 gr. HSTs and 230 XTP hollowpoints and it has zero issues out of the box.

$655 gets you one hell of a base gun. I paid low 700s for mine but I suspect I'll buy another and stash it to send off some day.

For those who have them, do the O1911C's have any beveling of the magwell?

Where is this under $700.00

In for the info. I have not handled or shot one but I have my eye on the stainless .38 super version.

I'm looking for that in Blue, but haven't seen one yet. And in for the info

The MSRP on Colt's website is $799 so intergoogle shopping should find one for under $700. I looked at one in a LGS that was a little over $700 plus then there would be the sales tax. Still it is nice to look at one before one buys.

 

[Infidel4life11]

A 38 super is on my list to buy next

Darn. Too late. Couldn’t tell if it was rollmarked or engraved.
