Default Colt 1911 new "70s" series Model O

I try to stay with 70 and early 80 series 1911's.
Came upon this today at a gunshow.
New 70's series Model O.
Fit, finish seem pretty good. Can't find much is pricing info
on the auctions.

Grand or a bit under. Lacks the series 80 firing pin safety and reverts to the Series 70 style in that regard, but doesn't it lack the "finger" bushing up front in the new ones? Everything I've heard about them has been good for the most part, just expect to be out close to a grand for most anything Colt these days.

Found a Series 70 steel Commander, .45 ACP, brushed nickle, 90%, with box....at the Reno show a few weeks back. Been looking for one for a year or more now. $795 OTD and I was VERY happy to get it.

GatorFarmer hit the nail on the head... Most anything Colt these days is a GRAND...generally far more.
