The Colt 1911 thread

[GA 1911]

I couldn't find a thread so here:

I bought this one today. It's a Colt Gold Cup Trophy Series 70. I replaced the stocks with some older walnut ones.

I stripped and cleaned it for the range. Colt goes heavy on lubricants for new guns.
------
Here are a few older ones.

Colt 100 Year Aniv. Tier III:

very nice looking guns! I love the lines on those Colts…


I only have one, she was made in 1918

I saw one today at A.O. which was supposedly a first year gun (a National Match). They wanted $4999 ($5300 with tax).

Nice Colt from 1918.

Here is my first Colt Gold Cup Trophy (2010). It's a great gun right out of the box.

I also have a 2011 Colt Series 70 with the "100 Years of Service" roll nark, It was $925 in 2011. Didn't work well on ejection. I called Colt and got a paid shipping label.
I have the paperwork, and Colt replaced the ejector and added a National Match Barrel. It's rare for that, but the ejector is still a little slow as it dents some rounds on the ejection (so not reloadable).

I bought a Colt 0911A1 "Limited Edition" 1911 at retail price. Model 01911SE-A1:

I like the newer Colt 1911 and the older S&W revolvers.

Here is some of the paperwork on 100 anniversary 100 year Colt:

They are not kidding about the paperwork on this one. It has a copy of the U,S.A. Army manual for this gun.

Love the Colt 1911s. Don't have one at the moment, but will probably get another one hopefully near in the future.

One of my Lightweight Governments I wish I still had.

I am always very specific when buying from A.O. (Adventures Outdoor). I have bought from them since before they moved to their current location in 2010-2011.

The manager looked over my purchase and thanked me for my support. I said that I appreciate AO's support to ODT.

ODT and AO are the two big businesses in GA, They need to work well together as a team to support our 2A Rights.

P/S AO has a big sale on ammo. I also bought $250 in ammo. No such thing as too much ammo.

Bought a Colt 1911 SE last year. Has a brass bead on the front sight and aggressive lines on the front of the grip. Beautiful gun. One day I'll get a Gold Cup Trophy and a CMP original.
