Very pleased with this...
Very pleased with this pistol, arrived with flawless finish and fit well. Tight slide to frame fit and barrel to slide fit. Thumb safety is stiff with a little downward play but still acceptable. Reliability so far is perfect, but I'm only shooting 230 grain round nose jacketed and plated bullets. Accuracy is excellent, definitely better than my Colt Mark IV Series 80 (1991) which I purchased new when I turned 21. I'm enjoying this pistol stock with no plans for any changes. I just ordered the 38 Super version in stainless from Bud's and looking forward to shooting it soon! Bud's service was great, fast and efficient to my local FFL, highly recommended!

Colt, the original...
Colt, the original maker: The O1911CS Government series 70 is a classic. I ordered this little gem here at BG. It shoots as well as it looks too. So far, I've added night sights, full length guide rod, flat guide rod spring, beavertail, extended slide stop, extended safety, hammer and trigger. Took it to the range yesterday, first shot was dead nuts center at 12 yards. This is a good gun. Consider it a blank canvas that you can build a sweet 1911 or just keep it stock. Keep it stock or dressed up, either way, it's still a Colt. Enjoy

Questions & Answers
Q: I'm pretty familiar with Colt 1911's. I have a 01918 Teir 3 1911-2011 Colt 1911, looking to buy a Colt to go alongside my Delta Elite. But what is the 1991? What is the difference between the blued base government model and this. The 1991 is throwing me off. Thanks in advance guys.
