Was looking at a XSE and a rail gun. O1980XSE and O1980RG.
Besides rail vs. no rail and black vs. blue, is there any difference?? Thanks |

The receiver and slide materials are different. The XSE is blued carbon steel, and the RG is stainless with black Cerakote. Feature wise, they are pretty much the same. I have seen many reports of the RG being fitted with a National Match barrel from the factory (marked "Colt 45 Auto N.M."). I'm not sure if it is standard feature though.
Both very nice Colt's, and every report I have read about the RG has been excellent. I think today's Colt's being manufactured on their new CNC machinery are some of the best Colt's that have ever come out of the factory. You won't go wrong with either choice!
