    Finally Bought a Colt!

    My second 1911. I've been wanting the XSE for many years now and saw a bunch turn up on Gunbroker at once so I got one. Normally there aren't any on there or maybe one or two, but at one point I think it got up to seven or eight this time. None of the local shops ever had any, nor could they get one. I'm pretty excited. It's in the mail now so here are a few teaser pics from the auction. I'll post a few more when I DROS it and after I get it I'll do a range report. This is going to be a tough 10 days.

The full length dust cover rail makes a world of difference in the "when I run out of bullets I'm going to beat you to death with the pistol" look that causes bad guys to run in fear, and lesser men to feel inadequate. It looks just plain beastly and the extra heft up front does help manage recoil a bit better. Plus, an angel told me that when God called JMB to heaven it was to build him a full rail 1911!

              Welcome to the colt club!

              I have the same one! Great shooter!
              All you need is a trigger job and get a match fit bushing and then you will be putting bullets on top of each other!

                  Welcome to the club, I love Colt, it is my favorite brand and other than that the only one I'm considering is Nighthawk. Glad to see Colt is finally putting in the beaver tails. My 2011 XSE came with duckbil

                            I just wish they would start make DA revolvers again.
                            Yes you can have 2 C&R 03 FFL's; 1 in California and 1 in a different state.
