IIRC, it was about '99. I had gone to a gun shop I frequented to buy a Colt Special Combat Government. They usually had things like Custom Shop Colts, Ed Browns, etc. in stock. I noticed they had a PC 945, no dash, in stock. I don't recall if I'd ever even seen a 945 before. Anyway, as I was a regular customer, and assured them I'd buy it if I scratched it, they allowed me to field strip the Colt SCG and the 945. The difference in the fit of barrel/bushing/slide/frame between the two was obvious. The Colt seemed to have been assembled, like any other production model, not fitted. The fit of the 945 was more like SIG P210s I'd owned. No comparison in my mind. I went home with the 945. In the years afterwards, I bought several more Performance Center guns. Only have three PC guns left, but wish I'd kept them all.....
Added a photo of two of the three PC guns I have left, 4" and 5" DPA 5906s.
