Look, it doesn't matter if its a $2000 gun, or the lowest priced. All that matters is that YOU are happy with it. Too many people think they have to have the TOP of the line, or they can't be satisfied. I ain't one of 'em. +1 I know this is a Springfield thread, but I took a beat up military Colt 1911 (1914 mfg.) that was loose as could be. I did some basic mods. No Novaks or Heinie's, no light rails, no barstock hammer, sear, or special trigger, no beavertail, no magwell, no checkering, no match barrel. I think I had a total of $450 into this gun, and it shot as well as any 1911 I ever picked up. Did I mention it was ugly? It got sneers from my friends, who are used to custom 1911s, but it was beautiful to me, since it shot like a dream and never malfunctioned. The point is, we see these high end guns in magazines and feel we need all the bells and whistles, when we really don't. Here's that ugly Colt. Chris157c, your gun is a beauty queen compared to this. img116.exs.cx/img116/6707/gunpics0594be.jpg Uhhh.... where's the ugly part? This pic did not do the gun justice, regarding ugly. Whoever owned it before me sent it to a gunsmith here in Az. who will remain nameless. That guy polished the gun and reblued it, after improperly fitting a match bushing and doing a horrible trigger job. The guy had bad technique on the buffing wheel and left, for lack of a better term, ripples in the surface. Short of surface grinding it, which I was not going to do, there was no getting rid of the ripples. I bead blasted it and reblued it. You can see the heat treat line just behind the t in patent on the slide, and the slide forward of that is much darker. The good part of this story is that I sold it to a guy from this board, and sold it to him cheap. He is a young operator in a very elite unit of our armed forces, and is probably in a sandy place making good use of this weapon now. That does my heart good. I just got a Colt not too long ago and was wondering what that line of different shading was on the slide. Is this something done at the factory? My 1911 A1 says United States Property and M 1911 A1 U.S.ARMY on it and it is from 1943. Should I refinish mine? I don't plan on selling it, EVER.

Funny thing was this one was $10 LESS than the monotone black XD40...so it made my choice even easier. Just added a hogue grip today... feels even better in my hands now.
