This might be a dumb question but does Bushmaster make a 1911? I have a friend who went to a local gun shop the other week and swear he saw a "Colt 1911 for $350". I began to question him and he swore that's what he saw, pretty much telling him to confirm it, because well...Colt's don't go anywhere near $350.
Well he went back earlier today and now says it's a Bushmaster...I don't think I have ever heard of that in my life, but may be wrong, so I came here to confirm, and will try and show his gun-stupid self this thread. (Will declare myself gun-stupid if I'm wrong lol) |

(Will declare myself gun-stupid if I'm wrong lol) i googled it and i got nothing. i saw a thread about Bushmaster making a 100th anniv 1911....but then somebody said "look at the date it was posted" and it was an April Fools joke because lets face it.......EVERYBODY is making an anniversary gun this year. not that its a bad thing, because more 1911's are always good, but from what i gathered....no such thing as a Bushmaster 1911. |

Yeah I addressed and asked everything I could think of, was it in .22? Was it in extremely bad condition? Was it really a Colt? Is it a 1911? He originally said it was a legit 1911 colt .45.
But now he says it's a Bushmaster .45 ACP...and says it definitely is. Gotta love these types of people! 
If I could visit the store I would, but he lives in VA, maybe I'll ask him for the phone number tomorrow and call them. |

He might have seen a "Colt 1911" for $350....BUT it was most likely an Umarex licensed Colt 1911 in .22lr Or maybe a Colt slide on an Essex or Foster frame, built by Bubba from God knows what parts. I wouldn't be averse to owning one of those but I'd have to look it over thoroughly beforehand, and I wouldn't want to pay over $350 for it. |
