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.
