That's exactly where I was at. I've had Colt 1911's that were simply over priced junk, riding along on name recognition and reputation.
I've bought a few new Peacemakers over the last few years, and their quality has been outstanding. I think I mentioned here that they are the best examples I've seen, including first generation guns from Colt's "heyday". So, when I saw that they had merged back into one company, had reorganized, rolled up their sleeves, and gotten serious again, I figured I would give them another chance.
I'm glad I did. This is a lot of gun for the money. Every bit the quality of the Kimber or the Springfield, and priced a bit lower to boot. This could easily turn into my favorite 1911.
