Will it be a future collectible? Hmm. There's a ton of companies making 1911's, so doubt it will be ultra-collectible unless they stop production quickly.
Does look nice.

I'm not feeling it for the Stainless.

Yeah, those prices will still net a nice 1899 or 99 if you watch for them. Heck, a Kimber 1911 can be had for a couple hundred less than these.

Its not going to be in my book ,with those prices !!!! i got a first year original one that cost about the same.
Ditto. I'll continue to make do with my old Colt 1911's and my Colt Gold Cup. More power to those who gotta have all the bells and whistles, just not for me.
One heartwarming aspect: reaffirmation of the old John Browning design.

Are those Gold Cups as nice as they're rumoured to be? I've been considering getting one. I'm still using a S&W 4516 and a 4506. I like them but have had a fascination with the Gold Cups for some reason.
I think they are, but I'm just a casual shooter not a serious pistolero. I worked up loads for it (cast bullets of course) and tested it with my Ransom Rest to (mostly) eliminate human error, the best of the bunch* went into an honest inch at 25 yards. You can't prove that accuracy by my shooting it off my hind legs, but at least I have a goal.
4.0gr. Bullseye, 200 grain soft lead SWC sized .452" (from a Hensley&Gibb 6-cavity gang mold - bullets drop from it like rain), Federal brass, R-P #2 1/2 primers.

Looks like a Kimber with Savage markings. 😬

I'm pretty old school on 1911s, so I really like the WWII and 40s era Colts. A nicely blued late 40s Colt Government (Commercial) model and a parkerized 1941 Colt 1911A1 (Military) just seem right. For target shooting I do have a 45ACP Springfield Range Officer with adjustable target sight that I shoot often.
Just noticed that it looks like they are dropping their AR rifles, or dropped them in the last year or so?
Which was another oversold market.
Based on the last 14 years, I'd think if they could swing it getting into the ammo market would make sense. Anybody making ammo has been making money.
