My first 1911 had a Pony on it.
It was a Cmbat Elite, and I loved it.
However it never fed well even after having work done on it and the front sight fell off. This was around 1994.

I sold it and bought a Wilson Combat. WC's were about $1500 back then. Twice the money of my Colt. Best money I ever spent.

I'd still like to have a WWII vintage Colt as a collectable though.
