    Thanks for the input. I just read an article on it and it said that they are remanufactured and the parts are not matched, just what ever they grab. Think I'll pass on it and spend a bit more and pick up something else. Found a Springfield V10, a HK USP45, and a Glock 21 all at the same place. Tough choice but either way it'll be worth the extra $$$.

    If you're looking for a well made M1911A1 shooter, try the Argentine Systema 1927. Arsenal refurbished '27s were selling a short time ago in the $250 range.These guns were made in Argentina under Colt license and supervision, on Colt machinery.The ones I've seen and shot, were in every way equivalent to pre-WWII Colt commercial models.
