I have a Colt New Service in .45 Colt. I paid $350 for it. It had been re-blued and buffed so aggressively that the markings were blurred. It had a 7 1/2" barrel, with a front sight as thick as a razor blade and a rear sight to match. It was accurate (small groups) but it shot a foot high and 18" left.
After trying everything, I cut the barrel back to 5 1/2", mounted adjustable sights and put on Herrett Shooting Master grips.
I've been offered $1500 for this gun, but it ain't for sale!
