Which Colt

All of 'em!

The Gold Cup is high on my wish list...

 

That's like asking what Chevy should I buy...what are you looking to do with it...range, SD, safe queen, BBQ gun, competition? If you are just looking for the best Colt money can buy then a Gold Cup is the answer.

 

I like the 1991 series, especially for the price.
A trigger change and they look almost identical to the old 1911A1s.

I like the series 70 better.

If for carry, one of their lightweights. Especially, one of their CCOs if you can find one.

 

The Gold Cup is a great gun. I absolutely love mine.

 

With that avatar "methinks thou a troll?" If so, you're on thin ice.

If your query is serious, this, IMO is the best carry Colt out there today:



The Wiley Clapp TALO/Colt 21st Century Commander

 

Wow- one of "those" questions

Wait on this one

 

I had a feeling you needed one-

 

OP question, "Which Colt 1911 should I get?"

My answer, "The Wiley Clapp TALO/Colt 21st Century Commander".

Your reply, "Rolleyes"?

And I shouldn't think you're a troll.....WHY?

Yep, you are on thin ice. Conduct yourself accordingly.

 

I own Glocks, Sigs, Berettas, Smith and Wessons, Rugers. I own a couple 1911s, but neither are Colt's.

I think the OP may have not liked that folks jumped to a conclusion about a question just because he has one brand in his avatar.

To the OP. Do you really want a Colt or just a quality 1911?
What do you want to do with the 1911?
A lightweight bobtailed commander would make a great carry piece. But standard full sized frames and slides are nicer for target work.

There are some good custom makers out there that would put out a 1911 that may have started out as a Colt but would have few Colt parts in it by the time they were done with it. Colt makes some good models though for most tasks.

 

You mean like the OP jumped to his conclusion because what is in my siggy?

Maybe we should all accept the answers we get to our posted questions.....or just not ask them.

 

This is getting gud

 

Seems to me you've received some opinions, including one from a guy that really knows 1911s & specifically Colt 1911s, but you don't like them.
