Yeah, yeah, yeah...and if its got a full length guide rod, or integral light rail, or adjustable sights, or in any caliber but .45acp its not a "real" 1911 either, right?

Or...you COULD avoid the whole 1911, spring ,extractor, ejector, parts swap, troubleshooting song and dance and just buy a SIG P220 if you have to have a single stack 45 that MUST work every time. Yeah, I hate to break it to you but when it hits the fan and I want a 45, the P220 is coming with me and the Colts are staying locked in the safe.

The Colt's barrel shot as good as it looked- but this came as no surprise to this old '1911 crank'. In my experience, recent-production Colt barrels always shoots this well. I have had top-name aftermarket barrels that wouldn't shoot a bit better than this stock Colt barrel did, given a .003 clearance bushing, fitted loosely in the slide. I also had a bone-stock 1991A1 Commander a few years ago, that would plant five, 230 grain Federal HydraShoks inside 3 1/2 " at 50 yards- with the factory barrel and bushing. It also ran for 3500 rounds without a single malfunction. There were no malfunctions with this gun, either.

Hell, I'll just go ahead and say it- replacing the barrel in a recent Colt auto is probably a waste of money which would be far better spent on a case of ammo.
