The early 3rd Gen guns, IMHO, weren't as good as the "4th Gen" or current 3rd Gen guns.
I would certainly agree with that. Not so long very few wanted 3rd generation Colts. I'd still much rather have a USFA or Ruger as a shooter but nothing beats the historical or intrinsic value of a first generation Colt. Even those that were rode hard and used well have appreciated a lot of the last several years.
