After reading the host of valuable information that the contributors to this site provide I would like to see if anyone could help me with finding the right Colt models.
As my business is now out of the ‘start up’ stage and I am able to take a little time, and enjoy some of the profits. I am purchasing three new carry guns (I have been carrying an H&K USP Compact for several years).
I need:
5" Colt 1911 Government Model blue steel
4" Colt 1911 Commander Model blue steel slide / blue aluminum frame
I will also get for my wife:
4†Colt 1911 Officers Model (perhaps a Defender model, she currently carries a G26 and G19)
I will need both pistols to be modified/customized for cosmetics and carry, dehorned, sights, checkering, ambi safety, slim grips (genuine ivory), trigger job, and reliability (most important), I also want all plastic or MIM parts replaced with the best available. (I know there is nothing wrong with MIM, I just don’t want any in there, if I want plastic I have the H&K)
My question to you gentlemen is which ‘model’ Colt should I buy.
From reading this and other forums I have information that would lead me to acquiring a:
Colt Series 70 Pistol (with the New Roll Marks) Model O1970A1CS Government Model
Is it possible to get a commander as close as possible to the Series 70 in cosmetics as well as in function, with an aluminum frame. I would rather have a pistol that has 1911 on the slide not 1991. The devil is in the details. I would like the pistols to be as close to identical as possible.
Additionally I would appreciate any information regarding the prices I should expect to pay for basic the pistols.
Thanks again for the valuable source of information that you provide on this site. I appreciate it.
Once the pistols are acquired and the work completed I would love to post the pictures and a range report
