Re: Commemorative

Are Commemorative pistols collectible? What Colts' are? Last edited by GzzV; 10-20-2012 at 09:49 AM.. |

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.

Re: Commemorative
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.
