Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Colt’s 1911 served the United States military through two World Wars and several other conflicts, is still in use by some units today, and has become popular with law enforcement, competitors, and recreational shooters across the nation. The design has seen some updates including a firing-pin block safety, higher profile sights, and more ergonomic grips, but the basic design and fantastic trigger remain the same after more than a century. This is an interesting variation from the Colt Custom Shop. Distributor Lew Horton ordered a whole series of limited edition 1911 variants known to collectors as the “El Series”.
The pistols were made with a variety of different trims but were chambered for .38 Super, and most were built on Bright Stainless slides and frames. It appears that there was an over-run of these parts, and this “El Senador” is adorned on the slide. The remainder of the pistol has legally required maker and serial markings with the rest polished so bright you could use the gun as a mirror for shaving. The .38 Super cartridge uses speed not size to make a dent in the history of ammunition development. Eventually overshadowed by the .357 Magnum, this caliber toes the line between obsolete and nostalgic, but add it to a firearm like this Colt Custom EL Senador Supreme, and you have a winning combination. If you’re looking for a new 1911, a limited edition to add to a Colt collection or a new BBQ gun, this is a great pistol.
