I have been seeing an increasing number of NIB Colt CCOs on Gunbroker. They appeared to be genuinely new, not old stock that has not been touched. However, when I looked at Colt's website, they did not list them in their catalog. Anyone have any info on this or how long it will last?
They look pretty nice. I would like one to carry, but I know that if I bought one it would sit in the safe. Too pretty for me to want to risk scarring it.
traded for one a couple of years ago, guy that had it had bought it and never carried it. I rectified that oversight, I've shot the hell out of it and carried it frequently. They are a joy to carry as they are light, have the short grip frame. I'm not a huge fan of aluminum framed 1911s though, I'd put up with the extra weight if I could've got one with a steel frame.
This version looks very nice, the old version I have is the ugliest 1911 I own, at least I go rid of those damned Goodyear grips, ugh. The sights on that new one would suck though on a carry gun.
