They're about equal. Can you school me a bit? Im pretty new to 1911s. Is the fact that its from the 90s bad? How is colt warranty compared to springfields. I have read it but I know some companies stand behind their products. Is this the case with colt |

If you put both guns in the classifieds the Colt would probably fetch a little more for several reasons.
A. It is a Colt B. The Colt has machined steel and cast components where the Springfield has MIM components. Some folks really get hung up on the MIM thing. Personally I have had more issues with machined steel parts than MIM. Springfield and Colt both make good internals so take that for what it is worth. I would bet the fit on the Springfield is better than the Colt and it does not have the 80 series parts in it which makes it a winner for me. |

Colt uses MIM just like everyone else. Springfield has a lifetime warranty regardless of you being the original purchaser or not Colt does not.
The Colt has a firing pin block and the Springfield does not. They are comparable in attributes and value. |

If it's a regular Series 80 model with the polished finish, I'd say it's worth about $600-650. If it's the matte blued / stainless / parked M1991A1 with the huge 'COLT M1991A1' rollmark on the left side, it's worth about $500.
