Colt 1911 M45A1 Close Quarter Battle Pistol - $1587.44 (Buyer’s Club price shown - all club orders over $49 ship FREE)

Garbage firearm. Stay away. Got issued one in 2013... by 2015 all main springs and (cant remember other part) had to be replaced in every single one due to rusting out and causing failures. Cerakote was too heavily applied causing extensive break-in period. Thumb safety is uncomfortable. Grip bushing work their way loose easier than any other 1911 I've seen. And worst of all, series 80 firing system... the unnecessary solution to a problem that never exisited. Privately, I own a small firearm business and have worked on many 1911s and ARs. Colt's QC is terrible. I would never own a Colt manufactured in the last two decades.

This was the brother-in-law contract pistol they sold USMC MARSOC. The one that had frame cracking issues in the test. Then a few years later dumped for the fugly G19. Nothing like flushing our tax dollars down the colt drain.

Colt is circling the toilet drain like the dead gold fish that your parents told you had escaped. Uncle Sam wasted money on these and Colt is trying to make them "special" in a good way.

This gun had been 2 grand last year, you would think they could checker the front strap, for this amount.

This is a great gun. Purchased it at a local shop for $1050 due to the clerk giving too much of a discount. Got $400 off instead of $40. It's a great built gun and shoots great. Would highly recommend.

I've had this gun for a couple months now and love it. It's built extremely well and is very accurate. Colt built another fine 1911.

No just check the Web site for information. Just requires a click on the advertisers Web site for the actual information. I was interested in this particular gun so I looked at the website before posting comments.

You seem to not understand what I'm trying to say so I'll say it again. This one is the new ionbond finish while the post you are referring to is cerakote. You seem to not understand why someone would avoid the colt cerakote m45a1 due to bad reviews on the quality of its finish. Only cerakote model you should buy is the custom shop pelican case ones because of its rarity and usmc badge. My main gripe with your post was first you made a statement about how this post was cerakote without even checking out the website. Then you went on to insult cerakote and make more dumb statements about a product you clearly know so little about. First amendment gives you the right to say what you want....and I have the same right to call your post low information lazy spam.

Are you forgetting this isn't a product review site? Clearly the gun is 260 under msrp and a good deal to anyone that has been interested in top of the line colt 1911. If a stronger better and more durble coat is not what you like then that is your opinion. Remember this is gun.deals not 1911 forums.

i been wantin one of these for a long time. beautiful gun, checked one out at the gun show.

On the site it says ion bond if your not going to bother looking at the product why comment? I been looking for a good deal on this gun for a long time and I jumped on it at 7 am this morning. Good post

I've been fortunate enough to shoot one of these. I've never shot a .45 as smooth or accurate as this gun. Ever.

If I had the money, I'd have one of them in my safe. Beautiful gun with excellent characteristics and at least the one is shot, had superb accuracy at 15yds.

FINISH: Cerakote, Desert Tan
SKU: O1070M45

$1500 and more for Cerakote. No attention to bluing or brushing stainless. Go buy a can of spray on bed liner for your pick up and blast away at a $700 Colt with a match barrel. Or just buy their rail gun for 400 less if you want the rail.

Looks like a price change was made. $1600 shipped is now a little under MSRP. That's better than the initial "deal" which was $1750 - well over MSRP.

This is definitely not a deal. The MSRP for sku O1070M45 is $1620, not $2000. $2000 is for sku O1070CQB, which is a Colt custom shop gun. Sku O1070M45 (the one posted here) is nearly identical to the ones made for the USMC. Mrgundealer had this gun recently for $1529, but not sure if they are in stock any more.
