This should help. https://www.colt.com/category/pistols I have had a Combat Elite for many years and love it, been a fantastic pistol. I never regret buying this particular model. If I were looking for a new 1911, I would look for one of the versions with the rail on it, ya might never need it but it would be nice, I think they look cooler and we all know that is important, LOL For "me" this would be a hard one to pass up. https://www.colt.com/detail-page/gov...acp-blk-5-rail Good looking pistol. And the question of what are ya gonna do with it? Who cares ya want a new 1911 so get what ya want! Enjoy the hunt and no matter which one ya get buy quality mags (Wilson Combat ETMs) it's always worth it. They make them in 9mm & 45 ACP. They do run sales on them at times so they can be had for less, still worth it I feel.
