my shop moves a lot of product and he has more Colt 1911s than I can ever remember seeing... I think 1911s in general have lost their luster...

Not here. I work in a local shop that does a lot of volume. We have more Colts than ever and no one is interested. Sold a Delta Elite yesterday but that's about it. We sell three times as many Wilson Combats than we sell Colts.

bought a new 6720 a few weeks ago for $819 delivered. Hadn't heard about the bankruptcy. Just wanted a good deal on a Colt AR15 to go with my 1911's that I've had for years..

One reason you're seeing more Colt's is because last year Mark at Colt said that they had the new equipment up and running and that they were going to ramp up production significantly.

I just ordered a 1991, $599 after Mail In Rebate.
As much as I've wanted a Colt 1911, I couldn't shell out $800 for one. Everyone was snatching up $5-$600 Rugers and Remingtons, glad Colt got the message. |

I do find it interesting that a lot of the clearance places have been blowing out colts lately. Used to be you could hardly find pony guns for less than MSRP. Started with the AR's but now I keep seeing the 1911's getting blown out. The whole industry is nothing like it was even 10 years ago. The internet has changed the whole game. |

They have gone out of stock a few times in the last few months, but they have come back in stock for the same $799 price each time. |
