Some dealers have the Colts. There is a dealer on gunauction.com called sandman that has quite a few different models. I don't know who their wholesalers are, we use 4 or 5 different ones and none of them have any.

I love the 9mm RO I have some light lead loads that gun loves. They are crap in other guns but great in the RO. Just picked up 3 more kimber 9mm mags and a 10rd metalform. Kimber mags work great.revhigh said:bgw45 said:For an investment of $1800 I would prefer a Les Baer. I believe the Baer to be better in Every aspect except name. JMHO
I'd spend it a little differently ... a 9mm RO, a stainless loaded target model, and $200 worth of reloading equipment or components.

I learned this the hard way. People always wondered why I only buy good tools. Other wise I would buy them twice. Until I got into the 1911 game I had no idea how much difference there was.revhigh said:The Blackhawk Kid said:You are just paying for the Colt name. bhk
As spoken by hundreds of others who can't afford or otherwise don't have the money to buy a higher level 1911 than the entry level Ruger, and there's nothing wrong with entry level guns .... No matter who makes them.
Just making that statement shows a lack of understanding of the finer points of 1911 construction and building.
You pay for the name of any superior product ... Whether it's BMW or Mercedes over Chevy ... Rolex or Omega over Seiko ... Or Guinness over Old Milwaukee.
