 | Is the Colt 01991 the nicest GI model 1911? - Judge Smails on 5/10/13 at 9:31 pm I'm in the market for a GI model 1911. Can anyone speak to this particular model? Looks like it can be had for $900, which is higher than the Springfield Mil Spec?

As a new reloader the powder weighing and measuring component is definitely the most intimidating aspect of the process. Let's hear it before I drop $300 on this thing........
