Golf battery

Colt marine 1911 m45 cqb

Recommended Posts

If this one is marked USMC, I'd grab it. It's my understanding that those for civilian sale will no longer be so marked. Instant collector item.

 

Adios,

Only way I'd buy it is if I were a marine. It's basically a rail gun painted and with night sights I think. Nice gun though.

Nah they come out of the custom shop hence the price tag.

Yes the marine does come from the custom shop

 

 

What are the differences between the two other than production numbers ?

Other than the finish, grips w/ larger screws , night sights, lanyard, both have rails but the marine saya "MIL-STD-1913 Accessory Rail" Vs. the colt rail a M1913 Picatinny Rail

They had one come in at OSA the other day and it lasted less than one day. Came through so fast, I blinked. Gone!

 

Went for over 3g.... Yeesh. Would have liked to see it just for kicks.

So I just called Colt because I wanted to know what the deal is exactly.

 

They said that the change is "and only is" it won't say whatever it said previously, Colt Marine Pistol? and have that NSN marking thing, it will have M45A1 on it and that is it.  (I am not sure how true it is I am just saying what Louis at Colt Customer Service just told me.)

 

 

He also told me I could get one simply by ordering from a Colt dealer, and I specifically asked, "Are they going to say "can't get them" or what?" and he says, they definitely are available and filling all orders, just a 6-8 month wait.  (and of course they're expensive).

 

TIFWIW.

I want one, but for the price decided to go with a used ed brown or wilson. Looking for a regular colt rail gun though.

 

Not worth the $$ imo. Id go to any of the semi custom builders for that money.

The marine or the regular rail gun? I agree with you on the marine but a regular colt rail gun can be had for 1k. I want to compare it to the e series I recently bought. I like that all the controls are stainless vs black on the s&w.

 

An ed brown or wilson is also getting bought on this round of permits hopefully.
