My new Colt .45 - Wish List Complete.

Post by Ron71 »

Finally found the one I was looking for on Gunbroker. The wait at the gun shop from Colt to send me one just took too long!

I really lucked out on this buy. It was sitting in a guy's safe since he purchased it and is in mint condition. It's the exact model I was looking for and I only ended up spending a couple hundred dollars over list. $200 or wait two to three years? I'll spend the money...

I've already taken it to the range three times. I don't own guns to sell, I own to use.

Never much understood the idea of owning guns that never get fired. Seems silly to me.

Glad you're having fun with your new acquisition.
