Love this pistol! The...
Love this pistol! The 1911 XSE I received was not the same model that was listed on the Colt site. Heck, it was several years old without the Novak sights. I contacted Colt, specifically the Custom Shop supervisor after searching the 1911 Forum. Brent took care of me and my pistol, upgrading it to the current specifications and making all right. The 1911XSE shoots lights out, before and after returning to Colt. Trigger excellent. Accuracy excellent. No complaints after the "correct sights" were installed. I have since installed an S&A Magwell/Mainspring housing and G10 grips. This pistol is great! Normally I replace the barrel bushing with an EGW Gunsmith-fit bushing to tweak accuracy potential, but this Colt came with a tight fit bushing. Looking forward to my next Colt purchase!

Excellent pistol....
Excellent pistol. Could not be happier. After a quick clean and lube, I headed to the range and put a couple of hundred rounds through it. It performed flawlessly. Bud's service was excellent. I highly recommend both the 1911 and Buds.

Picked up mine...
Picked up mine yesterday at my local FFL. Have many 1911s but this is my first Colt. And first impressions of the gun are...well I'm pleased more so than I expected to be. Heard all the stuff about Colts being fitted loosely slide to frame, not so with this gun. Fit is very good and the finish is very nice. Now the finish isn't the old deep royal blue that Colt used decades ago but it is very nicely done and of very good quality, matte rounds and polished flats. No jagged edges anywhere as they have been smoothed over before the finish was applied. Series 80 gun as is case with most Colts today, though the trigger feels very robust. Haven't fired any rounds yet through the gun but am certain this one will not disappoint.
