Y ….yes it’s a 1972

Nice!! You don't see a lot of those and they go for a pretty penny!

Thanks. I got it hard chromed, which probably kills collector value, but I don't ever figure I will get rid of it.

Like your SS on the FS forum? Don't tell me that you attended 'Island' and didn't invite me?

I am sure all other 1911's work well. I've just never owned one.

True story: I bought my 1st Colt 1911 over 30 years ago. It worked well for a broke dude in the 1990's. I broke it down and learned to clean it (maybe a hundred times?). I was familiar with them.

I bought a few more in order to fix them (two had the old wood boxes). The biggest thing back then was a worn-out ejector part, It wore out and needed a new one. The firing pin would occasionally break. I never found one with other issues.

Do not be confused as Colt:

Holy Cr--!! Thankfully I didn't hit my head when I fainted. I am no expert by any means, but trying to learn and please educate me this part. They are all Class D deep engraving? They are spectacular!! I am still a student.

I can neither confirm or deny any of the reports about me and the island but I can tell you those pics of me there are photo shopped. The fact that my Cousin has been confirmed as the goldsmith that made cufflinks and necklaces for the guest also has nothing to do with me.

I agree.

There are many Colt collectors with excellent pistols.

They have the coltforums.com, but the moderators are strict which takes some fun out of the hobby.
