Got back one i regret parting with
I purchased a colt series 80 goverment 1911a1 45cap in nickel. I regret selling my last one. And found out colt discontinued the 1911 goverment model in there nickel finish. I traded it in figuring I could get another one. But I found a used one in 95/97% condition. If you want to see it go to, Antique Guns, Modern Guns, Firearms, Winchester 1894, Lugers, Smith and Wesson, Colt 1911, Swords, Collectable Ammo, Militaria and look in the new arrivals for today.
Whatza you thunk?
Beaware don't blame me if you buy anything he has some nice s&w there too. But he's been a honest, awesome seller. His prices aren't bad but his ratings are spot on.
My addiction is that awesome nickel finish.
The only other gun I regret parting with is a python in 357 w/6" barrel but replacing it now won't be cheap.

Glad you got it back, even if it's not the same one.

It's not new like mine was but I'll clean and polish her up the best I can.
I waited a longtime to find one.
I could of purchased a new s&w 1911 but they don't offer it in nickel.

I been looking for this one for a longtime. Only s&w and colt offered the highest quality in nickel finish. RIA is offers a 1911 in nickel and the armscor or citadel comes in nickel too. But the colt looks awesome. The nickel finish is so Purdy and looks like a sexy babe just standing there.
I don't like going in reverse but I had to replace it.

I love the nickel colts. They are a great investment, also. Enjoy.

I looked up the serial number at the colt website and she's born in 1984.

I never seen a gun that needed cleaning. I polished the nickel and the cloth is black. The 1911 is better than I expected. Another great deal from Joe.
