This 1911 CGC is near perfect. Been shooting Colts for 40+ years and compete as retired law enforcement. It has an excellent balance, trigger travel adjustment, beautiful finish and is amazing accurate 'out-of-the-box'. No ambidextrous safety and 2 mags.. The slide is completely tight and I cannot shake a rattle out of it. The combat hammer was a big selling point for me. The wide trigger 'feels' like 4lbs and I wouldn't change it. I got 6 inch groups, offhand at 25 yards on the first range trip. It is the perfect weight to soak up recoil and allow for pleasant shooting and follow up shots. I put 300 rounds through it on the first trip and enjoyed every shot of warm 230gr Hornady ammo. My pref was to toss the stock grips for slimline OD AlumaGrips, which are beautiful with Colt's SS.
Never a hiccup in over 600 rounds. Not a fan of the stock sights as they show black front against black rear (had to put whiteout on front sight), but they worked well at 25 yards. May upgrade the sights ... someday.
This is my 23rd(?) transaction with Bud's.
I have other Colts, and have fired 1911 clones, but this is the finest sidearm I have ever fired in my life and it just beams with solid Quality.
