PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

Nice review Hunter. I really like how Colt paid attention to the extra details like the inspector mark and the pony under the grip panels.

Quote:
He had planned on going horseback riding that afternoon and invited me along (as he has done many times in the past). Terry also said "bring along that new Colt you are testing and let me have a go at it".

Friend Terry has a bit of Tom Sawyer in him. But a day in the saddle sure beats a day white washing a picket fence.

Nice write up and quite nice for someone to lend the gun for the report. Extraordinary!

I see the serial number is past the 2,100 mark... mine is in the 1,800 range... does anyone have one higher (i.e.- newer production) than Jon's "1918" Colt M1911? Just wondering where Colt's at in this run...

Nice review, Hunter! I really like these WW1 repros. They're just gorgeous and they work just fine.

Jon was very generous in letting me borrow his new pistol and truthfully the pictures do not do it justice.
I do enjoy spending the day shooting a new Colt and on the trail with a well trained horse.
