Shuie..have U bin drinkin the bilge water again....I seen the NEWColt stuff at the Shot Show and it ALL RATTLES...I don't even know if the guns are made in America anymore.....the pre Series 70 1911's all had Forged frames... VS cast....and they are the ones the guys like to use to build their Customs on....and the prewar guns are well the absolute best....
Not being accurate....the 1911 got that rep during and after WW2....first they were mass produced, so time wasn't taken to carefully fit the the gun and after WW2 so many were rebuilt and tolerances went down....the 1911 became the Target Shooters choich of gun for competition before WW2 and there was a reason for that...it's accuracy...
I've said it before the best built guns were made from roughly 1890 to 1917....Guns were still made with the care that pride in workmanship brings...
