    Default Colt 100th Anniversary 1911 - the 01911ANVIII

    Well I went and ordered one this past weekend. There is also the ANVII but its for looking at whereas one might dare to fire an ANVIII.

    It's patterned after the 1918 variant and is quite plain to look at. And as a matter of fact, it may be coming off the same line as the 1918 replicas did and just has more lettering on the slide.

    It may not be overly fancy or thrilling but as far as commemorative 1911s go, I appreciate the availability of a somewhat affordable Centennial 1911.

    Who else has one on order or has some comments?

    Is it limited production? Without that I probably wouldn't be interested.

    Well BARF. I don't like I like.
    Gold on a Colt is just tacky as far as I'm concerned.
    This is just MHO.

    +1 I'm not too much into gold on most firearms.

    Sure like the plain one, though.

    *voice of Dundee* That's not a 100yr anniversary Colt, this is a 100yr anniversary colt;

    $70K+!!!! Are you mad!?
    You know the arsenal you can buy for that?!

    Personally I wouldn't pay any amount for a gun I would be afraid to shoot.
    I would rather spend that money on a nice 1911 and a bunch of ammo.

    My $0.02 on it- charity= tax write off, a truly truly factory one of a kind colt. Add to that the tour etc. Obviously if someone has the $$ to spend $100K (I think it just may, maybe, possibly), has a reason to want a large write off, and hey a gun to boot and more.

    I wonder how true to the original it really is, no MIM, magazines 2/3 blued 1/3 white? all forged small parts except pins. I think there is a limit to how close they could get it and still make money. Just following original drawings would cost a fortune, no one makes them that way anymore.

    I got mine from Cherry's Fine Guns in Greensboro, NC, The guy I talked to said he had a few but expected to sell them all by Christmas. Did I mention I got two with consecutive serial numbers?!

    Just got mine from Cabelas. I ordered it last month and picked it up today. I thought that I might have to wait a few months, but Merry Christmas to me.
