Yet Another "Which 1911 Should I Buy" Thread

[Berg01]

At $700.00 - $900.00, how about a Colt Series 70 reissue, or a "LN" STI Trojan 5.0?

S&W emailed me to let me know they were were going to go over the 1911 with a fine-tooth comb and make it right... we will see.

Meanwhile, the local range had a Sig show, with demo models you could shoot, and yes, I got to shoot my next 1911... the GSR. However, I will wait until a few production runs are out to work out the bugs; I've done my beta testing elsewhere with S&W. (btw, the 220's aren't so bad either )

Please forgive my ignorance, but what does NRM stand for?

"NRM" means "New Roll Mark", when Colt went back to the future and started using smaller slide markings again. Older people like me think it looks bettter. There's also a consensus that Colt also re-committed to higher quality at the same time they changed from the "ORM" (old roll mark) to the NRM, but I'm not qualified enough to know for sure. Try the 1911forum.com for more in-depth analysis.

Thanks Bob.
