Very nice! Do you know what Gunsite does to their Colts? (i.e., what parts, etc.)?

Very nice Colt Gunsite Pistols! I just used my blue and stainless for a certification class this week, they're very accurate and reliable.

Gunsite doesn't do anything to them, Colt builds them to Gunsite's specifications. ;)

Nice set of Colts. The only thing that I know that is better than a Colt is 2 Colts!

Thomor,

That is a great set of Gunsites you have there. Very similar to the O package from Colt that I am pondering for a couple Colts ;)
Nice find

Man, I just looked at that same pair about 2 weeks ago. I really wanted the CCO but didn't want to spring for the pair. Thought about buying both and reselling the Government.

Are you in Williamsport or close by? I live across the river in S. Williamsport.

Nice pair of Colts.
A dealer near me has the smaller one in stock and I've been wondering if I 'needed' it.
Now we'll be needing a range report!
