I like it, I would shoot it too.

That shor is purty! If I own a gun, it will be shot. Welcome to the forum GzzV.

Thanks Guys, (Me) Not being a collector why not shoot them, Right?

Re: Commemorative
 

Correct. She's no "Safe Queen". Enjoy her.

Are Commemorative pistols collectible? What Colts' are?

Re: Commemorative
 

I believe I would sell her to someone that collects and buy I couple to shoot. I would end up shooting that one and messing the purdy out of it. She is a beauty.

Hey, I remember when those came out. Drooled over that one in the local shop when I was too young to even know what an 1911 was besides a Colt.
Always thought it was a purty rendition. Not overly dolled up...just enough to stand out.

I suppose some collector might may a premium for it but I would go out and shoot it just because I could too. I don't have safe queens in my stash either. :)

Re: Commemorative
 

Both Colt and Winchester have made far too many commemoratives for them to ever have much collector value. They generally keep pace with shooter versions of the same gun.

Nice pistol.

I agree, I think TALO has something to do with the commemoratives. The grips on this Colt are Talo grips. I replaced the original with these.
