Literally my exact reaction. Picked up the HBPW and 3 weeks later see the M4A1 marked version with Matech buis and KAC rail for sale.... Oh well, it was already a costly impulse purchase.
It is nice, so many premium items. It felt like a collectors item just because of the cost and markings not a target shooter or 3 gun platform. Frankly its probably a good value but I really liked the feel of the HBPW and can see me running a lot of rounds through this gun. Its also the second Colt I bought in the last 96 hours. Its tempting and a fair price but I think Ill leave that one there for someone who really wants one very similar to military issue. Who knows tomorrow I may wake up and change my mind.
