Local shop had a blue entry-level Colt - similiar to the Springfield GIs. It was $676.
I saw it Sat and went back today to look at it. I was so disappointed. I might have gotten it, but the trigger had lots of play and was mushy. The thumb safety also felt terrible when you pushed it down - it only worked ok when you pushed it back up. Also, the finish around the front sight was messed up.
Colts never caught my eye before - Always been a Springfield fan. But, I thought I'd give Colt a chance... I'll pass...
What is sad is that feature wise, it's identical to the Springfield GIs, which are $200 less - Basically, you pay for the name, I suppose...
