Colt 100 years of service 1911

[timcalhoun]

Todd Jarrett just posted on facebook that Colt unveiled their 100 years of service 1911 at the NRA show, and will start selling them in 2011. So in addition to the Remington I have to get one of these as well.

I predict that the year 2011 will be very expensive for me.

Pictures?!?!?!?

Yeah, seriously! You can't start a thread like that without pics!!!

[USMCJG]

+3 on the pics!

[Ebow1]

Yes, not long after I bought my Para 1911 it occurred to me that the next year would be the firearm's centennial. I immediately cursed myself for not waiting till then to get one to see what they would unveil.

Well, I'll ask if he took any and if so I post em.

I bet it looks like a 1911.

[strickj]

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but I would like to see some pics

I bet it looks like a 1911.

No, it will look like a 2011

Ok, seriously, if you're going to make this kind of comment you need to elaborate.

So it's not a shooter? Just window dressing?

Because Colt hasnt built a decent 1911 in 30 years.

[Guest jackdm3]

What a waste of opportunity.

[kb4ns]

Is it at least pretty?

[BimmerFreak]

Is it at least pretty?

Honestly? No.

I thought it looked gaudy, but to each his own.

I am sure they will be snatched up by collectors, but the quality and craftsmanship coming from Colt dont hold a candle to the many very high quality semi-custom production and complete custom 1911 options that are available today.

That would be from 1980, at this point. Horse$#i+.

You're right. I got my math wrong...

Colt hasnt made a decent 1911 40+ years....

[Guest oldsmobile98]

Hm. I was under the impression that the Delta Elite was one of the best 10mm pistols out there.

You realize all you're doing is damaging your own credibility making such ignorant, sweeping statements.
