I'm in the market like the OP. I've been recommended to look into something with a chrome lined bbl. Is that what the Colt has?
My brother has a S&W M&P sport and really likes it, non -chrome bbl and all. Prices seem really reasonable on those too.
Anyone have experience/ knowledgeable opinions on Del-Ton? Windham? Alexander Arms I think has a <$1000 model or two also?
OP, thanks for posting as I had been considering the same.
