I searched for several weeks in every shop within 50 miles of Fort Worth and even the Fort Worth gun show last weekend with no success. However, within minutes of posting my frustrations on THR, a member in NC pointed me to his LGS who was loaded with Colts! That is how a forum should work!
I did not even take the time to wipe down the shipping oil before shooting these pics.
Slide-to-frame fit is great and pistol is pristine, as a NIB pistol should be. Ambi-safety is perfect and trigger is surprisingly good for all the bad things I hear about the Series 80 system. I have already ordered parts to replace the dreaded FLGR and the nylon MSH with Ed Brown SS parts and then she will be done. May get the trigger worked, but I want to run several hundred rounds through it before doing so.
I have a real nice DW 1911 and have even owned a Les Baer before, but I've been wanting a Colt 1911 for years
Won't get a chance to shoot it until Monday.
