Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This model was only produced from 1991 to 1993, and finding one unaltered in this condition is rare. The pistol features a three-dot sighting system, weighs only 33 ounces, and has excellent pointing capability and a fine grip feel. Colt Company planned to take this new design into the twenty-first century, but manufacturing it proved too much for them. They returned the design and tooling to Reed Knight and discontinued the pistol. Now is your chance to own one of these rare pistols!
Contents:
This example will ship with the original matching Colt case, outer sleeve, matching factory letter, factory paperwork, two 15-round magazines, and all other accessories pictured above! The condition is what we believe to be New Old Stock, showing no evidence of consumer use or handling that we can see!
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
