I'm completely on board with this whole 1911 thing now.
Po.Tay.Toh.CHIPS!
Of the two models you have listed Id go with the Colt.
I have a Colt XSE and it eats anything and everything. I had a Kimber and it was ammo picky. My Kimber was very tight and very accurate where as my Colt is loose and somewhat less accurate but Im the type that will take reliablity over accuracy when its only a very small margin.
Also just to throw it out there my Springfield Loaded 1911 is just as tight and accurate as my Kimber was and is just as reliable as my Colt is, And it was the least expensive. So food for thought. I know you already have an MC Operator, A loaded is pretty much just the MC Operator w/o the rail.
That stainless Loaded looks pretty sweet.
Which loaded do you have?
The Stainless one...
I just got my first one...and it has become my favorite gun.
What did you get?
LOL. We have similar taste in guns.
