So 1911's are like Harley's. The aftermarket parts available mean you can literally build one from 100% aftermarket parts.
And the fun part about 1911's, to me anyway, is that they are easy to detail strip and put back together.
So, if you get a 1991A1 version then you are ready to start putting cool aftermarket parts on it.
But do keep all of the factory parts. If you decide to sell your Colt, put the original factory parts back on it and sell off your aftermarket parts separately. You will be very happy not to lose a dime on your Colt and you can recoup some of your aftermarket parts cost or save them for your next 1911.
You can get a loaded Colt and do nothing, or a less featured version and customize it to your liking.
