New Colts are pretty nice and a step
Up from Springfield. IMO
Going back over thirty years since buying my first 1911, I have seen pretty much the exact opposite. The Colts were nice, but the SA 1911's were nicer IMO, for less money.
I won't pass on buying a Colt 1911 at the right price, and I have owned a few over the years, but for the most part, you are paying for name on the side of the pistol. IMO, there are just many better values for a 1911 than the Colt's.
