| Any experiences, thoughts, opinions on the Colt Gunsite pistol? Any info would help. Just please don't answer get a Baer, Brown, etc., or Colt sucks, constructive answers only please. Thanks. |

knightone, It looks like a good cadidate to me. I've been thinking about one. Pros: 1) It's one of the few "original pattern" 1911-A1s made, that is, it's a series 70. 2) It has the most useful set of add ons without going overboard. 3) It's a stainless pistol, FWIW 4) It "looks" right. Not a small thing for people who are picky about such things, like me. 5) Because it's a Colt it will be readily "upgradeable". In addition to Colt, every reputable gunsmith will work on it if desired or neccessary. Cons: 1) It has the Colt pattern of odd beavertail grip safety. I prefer the Ed Brown pattern. 2) It has the Colt pattern of cocking serrations, which are fine, I just like the Wilson Combat/Springfield Armory pattern. Much of what I've said reflects pure personal preference, but there you have it, IMO. |
