Well I am just as happy as can be. 1945 Colt frame with a Colt slide.
The 1911 has clearly been refinished, and when I got it it was dry as a bone. I rubbed some CLP into it and am letting the parkerizing soak up some oil. But the finish is in great shape. It looked like it was rebuilt, then just dumped into storage. There are some nicks on the frame and slide, and the left hand portion of the rear sight was hit with something (before the refinish). Plastic grips have a couple nicks, but it's not beat to hell at all. Rifling is good and sharp, and while it shakes a little, it's definitely no rattletrap. It feels a lot like a new Rock Island in terms of slide to frame fit. Trigger seems nice enough as well. Not Dan Wesson or Fancy custom house, but as nice as the colt I dry fired waiting for my Background to go through. It also came in a really nice pelican case with a reproduction TM. Is it 100% correct as manufactured? No, but it's a great collectible US Army marked 1911 that I'm not going to be scared to shoot occasionally. I think the naysayers really missed the boat on these.
