Still, my Dan Wesson Valor makes it feel like a Jennings or Raven Arms Sat. night special. I'll put my DW up against any boutique 1911 that costs 2-3x as much. Still, when you get a good Colt, they're great. Hold onto it.

That's really a shame. I wish Colt would find a way to quit crapping in their mess kit. I think we all have high hopes for better quality and consistency from them, what with their reorganization, reunification, and new leadership. They have got to be the most up and down - mostly down - firearms company in history. When they do get it right, it's glorious. They do have the distinction of having introduced the two most copied handguns of all time - it's just a shame that the copies are generally better. I guess I just got lucky. All three of my newest generation Peacemakers are superb - but I guess the Custom Shop tries a little harder.
