Springfield Operator or Colt Rail

[Glock22]

I'm looking these two but I'm really leaning toward the Springfield, but I like the idea of a Colt 1911. Any opinions on the two I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

I have several Springers.
I sold the Colts.

That is all..............

 

[NyleRN]

The Springfield is the answer here

I have both and prefer the colt.

It really depends on which model you have of either brand.

I'm really not opposed to other brands, It's just that the Springfield operator and Colt rail unit has caught my eye.

I'll have to go with the Springfield.
I have multiple of each and the service and support from Springfield is unbeatable by far.
My OLDER Colts are fantastic guns. My newer Colts are very average.
Colt name holds better value but you will pay that difference up front.
Handle all choices and compare fit and finish.
DON'T buy either with out hands on.

I am just saying the new Colt Combat Unit Rail Gun is freaking sweet and has everything I want on a full sized 1911 minus the magazine well.

Colt Combat Unit? Rail Gun®

Downside is it is just about the same price as say a TRP or a used stainless Dan Wesson

I was in love with the TRP until I met Dan Wesson!

Colt Combat Unit is a very nice piece. Ion bond finish, front strap checkering and the M45 rail, what's not to love. Colt's quality in these new pistols is excellent. Buy with confidence.

What shops in the Indy area carries a good selection of 1911's?

Plainfield Shooting has quite a few 1911s I was in there Saturday, and Bob had a pretty good selection ended up taking home a Colt Delta Elite 10mm. He had a used Springfield TRP looked very good can't remember the price though. He has Colts,Springers,Ruger,Sig, RIA. I did not notice a Colt rail gun, well then again he may have had one, if not sure he could order what you want. I have known Bob a long time, great man to do business with good prices and good selection of guns.

Point blank in Greenwood has the most colt 1911's anywhere I've seen.
I have been eyeing that colt myself.

Indiana gun club has the biggest supply I have ever seen

I had a Colt rail gun last year, and regrettably traded it for a rifle I wanted. It was very reliable and I had no issues at all. I am sure you would be happy with a CRG if you decide on it.

Luckily I found a Combat Elite recently to replace my CRG. I don't need the rail so it is almost perfect for me. I might have to send it off to have some night sights installed and the front strap checkered.

Both were made in the last few years and no QC issues with either.

I put the Colt Combat unit in layaway at Bradis today.

I really hope you enjoy it.

It was a little more than I wanted to give but I thought what's an extra $500
