Colt 1991 Series 7+1 .45 ACP 5"
[O1991]

Buds is quickly becoming my favorite place to purchase what I want in firearms. I have been wanting a basic Colt 1911A1 for a very long time and I am not disappointed in this purchase at all. The fit and finish were good, the parts fit pretty close for a production weapon and functioning has been flawless with round nose, jacketed hollow points and lead semi wad cutters. The only changes I have made to it since picking it up was to fit and install a flat bottomed firing pin stop and an EGW angle bore bushing. The factory bushing had a total of .006" play between the bushing and the slide and the barrel and bushing ID. The EGW bushing is easy to order, with a drop down menu to size the bushing properly. Make sure you take accurate measurements before you order! With the changes I have made, this Government Model will run step for step with my Gold Cup National Match out to 20 yards or so, where the NM begins to best it. That might be my ageing eyes more than the pistol itself. The Series 80 lockwork has been very much improved, with polished linkage parts as compared to the rough stanped parts of the early models. I cannot tell the difference in the trigger pull with the parts in or out, and like the idea of a drop safety. Some will spend the extra money for a Series 70 more because of what they have heard than experienced. True, it does make for some interesting contortions reassembling after a frame strip, but its not that hard. If the Series 80 system bothers you all that much, get this pistol with a simple spacer easily installed and save a lot of money in the process. Great pistol and my EDC. I trust my life with it if that is any recommendation at all.
