I have the two Colt 1911 45 cal. pistols I carried in Vietnam. The Army was giving us some low quality pistols when I got to Nam. I wrote my Father about the trouble we where having with them. He went and bought these two match grade pistols and sent them to me. In 1969 dollars he gave almost $1000 for the pair. They where supposed to be made out of better materials. I have never replaced anything other than the magazines. At that time you could buy your own pistols as long as you registered them with the armor officer where you where stationed. Not sure if you can do that any more.
These two pistols have save my life more than once. I know I have fired more than 10,000 rounds through them. They still are in good shape. I still fire them twice each month. A couple of Vets and I get together at a local shooting range and shot the obstacle coarse. I have my carry permit and I want to be able to still hit what I want. I have not been more than an arms length away from these pistols for many years. They have served me well now for over 40 years.
Maybe some of the other brands are good but I will never bet my life on anything other than a Colt 1911. I have shot some of the others too. They did not seem as smooth as the Colts I have.
