The one my Father bought was the first 1911A1 I ever fired. I like the 1911 and own a few newer ones now.

If your Colt is still 100% original, I'd lay it away. Original WW2 1911A1 pistols that haven't been messed with are difficult to find and the values have gone out of sight.

You can get a new clone for not a lot of money now and the quality is excellent. Palmeto State Armory has the Tisas US Army in stock now for $320... all forged parts; no mim parts.
