I have one myself and for over a year it was the only one id leave the house with,It is extremely accurate for its size, lightweight,and a blast at the range.The only thing i did to mine was have a trigger job done on it and replace the factory mags with the Wilson`s.as they are all i use in my single stacks or at the least the Mcormicks mags ,they are a little cheaper .Bottom line is i love mine great carry peice.but seeing as how colts are getting scarce now i decided to retire mine and replace mine with a new one that i did not have to worry about getting beat up or lost or stolen,so i bought a glock as they are a hack of a lot cheaper than the colts and kimbers and i would not care as much if i lost one as they are all the same .Where is if i lost a cherished 1911 id go nuts they are like my children around here!!!!!!!!!
