Colt 1911A1

Lots of folks don't understand the US custom of periodic upgrades or modifications.
An "original" would have been stolen off the assembly line.

Guns get pulled off racks periodically for these changes, or were in older times.
Many having little or no use.

I would want a Colt just because it fits the original profile.

I brought a RR home from VN, because I carried it.
Traded off the Black Market for a Swedish "K."

I had a minimal trigger job done on it and it shoots as well as I could want.
