The local Scheel's has a black 01070CQB for $2100.  Should I snag it as I have wanted one for awhile now?

The weird thing is the box says it is Desert Sand color but it is black.  The serial # on the gun and the box match which I find odd.

I am only in town for another hour or two.

Thanks!


Update: I bought it yesterday and found out when I got home last night that the front night sight (that is pinned in place) is dead.  Some moron at Colt used a hammer and punch (there is a giveaway round mark on the side of the sight) to install it and broke the vial...ugh.  Scheel's said that I can return it so I am making the 175 mile round trip this morning to do that and never buying another Colt product again.  This is the second Colt product that I have ever purchased and the second product that needed to be returned to Colt immediately.  Both were due to poor assembly/QC which is frustrating to say the least.

Scheel's let me return it with no issues.  I wound up getting a CZ P-07 that they had taken in on trade and will just keep my Kimber Pro Raptor II that I've had for 10+ years now that has never failed me.  I must have gotten lucky with it as even the safety was much more crisp than on the Colt.

Even the store manager commented on how that was crap on a $2200 handgun when he saw that they used a hammer and punch to drift in the front night sight.  He looked at the production model that they had and it was fine with no marks on the front sight.
