Posted this on the 1911 Forum but thought I'd share my good news here also
Well I just picked up my .38 super Special Combat Government Competition. I've waited for this gun for a year or more (ever since I heard the "rumor" that Colt was going to produce them).
Bad thing is that I can't go to the range for a week since I'm going out of town tomorrow morning!!! Bummer!!!
I'll post a range report next weekend hopefully. Upon visual inspection, the fit and finish is excellent. No tooling marks, gorgeous blued slide, and nice tight lockup. This is certainly no rattle trap!!!! I am very impressed. The only 1911s I own are SCGCs because I am particularly fond of them for some reason. This one is no exception.
Came in outer cardboard box, blue custom shop box with lock, manual, and 2 magazines that have rubber bumper pads....also has the gray/black grips which I like better than the walnut ones that come on the .45s. Also has a test target that was shot at 15 yards....wow....got one that grouped well, at least for the test...hope I can do as good!!!!
Here's a couple of quick pictures....one with a flash and one without....lighting is poor on both of them. I swear I'm going to make me a light box next month so I can take good photos of my guns....
