Looks like Colt ain't givin' up....

I'd love to add one of these new colts to the collection as well, I don't discriminate I like all quality guns. A large metal frame pistol that holds 8 or 9 rounds just doesn't make sense for combat use anymore. Obviously colt still has ties with the department of defense and can still weasel their obsolete platform into the modern military and get those big bucks.

I'm on the fence about them. I want one solely for recreational shooting, but if I'm shooting a gun for fun, that's ammo and reps I could be getting on my carry gun. I feel like shooting anything that isn't my carry gun is the equivalent of eating empty calories and doing zero exercise.

Looks like they given up. They made an 8 rd capacity 1911. Neva been dun befo

They’ve been 8 rd capacity since 1911 (7+1). 8 rd mags (9 onboard when properly carried in condition 1) have been around for at least 50 years.

glock wont be around for 100 years

Agree 100% they will be around at least 200 years.

Serious question. I’m not an operator and I don’t operate…lol but why would special forces units choose a 1911 platform gun? Wouldn’t you want more capacity on board? It seems to me a handgun for a special forces operator is the last resort weapon not the first choice. I would want something reliable in every situation with lots of rounds. Precision work needs to be done with long guns right?

Basic Gen 1's are easily selling for over a grand on Gunbroker. View attachment 4375569

If that thing had a stipple job with fresh Cerakote it’d be worth at least $1500
