    Nice. I was just wondering a couple of hours ago what these were going for while I was looking at Colt's online catalogue. I would be all over it had I not just bought my 2nd TRP Operator two weeks ago.

    If you see one of these available, you owe it to yourself to just shut up and buy it. They are wonderfully made, wonderfully accurate weapons.

    The first time I took it to the range, the very first shot fired went right through the 'X' on the target. I haven't duplicated that since, but I've come very close. I'd originally intended for this weapon to be a safe queen, but it's just too much fun to shoot.

    Wow you must get a major volume discount!!!! They are charging the Govt way more for thousands of the same gun!

    There is no way in hell the Colt rail gun submitted for the recent USMC tests was the same as these stock ones coming from the factory, and from what I hear from people who know, the factory Colt rail guns are not close to the quality of the Springfield MC Operator which was the runner up in the USMC assessment. If the USMC chose the stock Colt Rail over the MC Operator they need to have their heads checked, or at the very least figure out who got bribed since they are paying around $1800 for them.

    As written in military times article:

    Colt tweaked its 01070RG M1911A1 Rail Gun pistol and sent 10 prototypes to Quantico in the fall of 2010, said Greg Rozon, a product development engineering manager at Colt.

    The civilian 1911 rail gun usually has a stainless or carbon steel finish and rosewood grips, but Colt’s prototypes for the Corps have a desert-color Cercoat finish, eliminating glare on the weapon and making it less identifiable at a distance. As the name suggests, this model has a section of 1913 Picatinny rail under the barrel to mount accessories such as a light or laser aiming device. They also have more stainless steel internal components to afford the pistol more corrosion protection since it will be carried in a maritime environment. They’re equipped with a tritium night sight made by Novak.

    I have a stainless one and they are rock solid and very accurate out of the box.

    I'm verrrry interested in either the Colt M1911 1070RG or the 1980RG...

    Gee, I hope that one doesn't show up there for me to get all fingerprinty and drooled on...

    Hint, hint, hint...
