Don't know how many they made but I got one. Had to send it in to get fixed before I could use it.
 It works fine now.

Yep. I guess I'm a shooter and not much of a collector.

I had looked at the Cimmaron copies, but didn't like the safety on them, and decided I would rather go with the Colt. I'm trying to decide if I want to change the grips out when I get it, or leave it stock, but the pics of yours really makes it tempting. |

Okay, finally picked up my Tier III edition, sorry, no pics yet. It's NIB, but the question I have for other Tier III owners is: Does your safety feel strange when you move it to the "safe" position? Mine has a weird click that seems a little rough and isn't as "affirmative" as my other 1911's.
The safety functions fine, works when on, gun fires when off, it just seems the fitting could have been done just a little better between the plunger tube and the safety. Anyone else notice this with theirs? |

Anyone else notice this with theirs? The spring is very tight on my thumb safety but functions fine.....the only other thing I noticed was in the ball cut area of the slide (see photo) for area..... I noticed what looked like the start of surface corrosion...it was just a film but it was orange...who knows could have been residual from bluing salts or something.....a shot of ballitstol and it came of on the rag....very hard to see in normal light but get it out in daylight and I could really see it......

Everything on mine was sharp as fuck and generally rough. Quite a piece of shit, but a nice frame, slide, and mainspring housing for a base gun though. I'm always on the lookout for another one...
Check your plunger tube, it may be loose, or the detent end of the thumb safety could have a burr on it, or the safety plunger could have a burr. |
