Good as gold.  Made under license from Colt, with Colt machinery, it's the real thing.  Worth?  $300???

hillbill:  shorty is right.  They are good as gold and priced inexpensively.  But, once ya git your hands on one you won't want to get rid of it.  I've had mine for (lessee, 2004 minus 1966 = ) 38 yrs??? and she is still sweet.  HTH.  Mikey.

I fully agree with Shorty & Mikey. It's a good, serviceable & accurate pistol. Had a few parts replaced on mine for personal preference: higher sights; commander hammer; & short trigger. But it shoots as well as almost any 1911 I've had- except for a high buck custom pistol.  :grin:
