I read over at the Pistolsmith that old 1911s and the new ones were/are of exeptional quality and that the ''middle'' Colts were the ones that lacked quality control and subsiquently gave other manufacturers like springfield and kimber the lead in the 1911 sales.
So which dates are inclusive of the not so good batch of Colt 1911s and when did Colt start improving their quality control?
You see Im planning to get one and I would really like to know that Im not getting a pistol from the time when Colt was down in terms of quality.
Any dates or serial numbers would be helpful.
Thanks in advance
