Quality difference??!!
« on: January 25, 2006, 06:59:55 PM »
I was wondering from anyone out there if there was a big difference from an italian repro vs an actual colt repro. My gun store has several modern reproductions from colt that were made in the mid 80's and are still new or very good used with the colt box and everything.  They price for around 200-300$ more than an italian equivalent.

They look very nice but i dont want to have to pay just for the "colt" name and have the same type of steel and parts.

Let me know what yall think as I am new to the BP scene.

The colts have very fine finishes- blue and bone charcoal color case hardening.  They are generally of good shooting quality. They are a colaboration between colt and Aldo Uberti in Italy.  

By now they are taking on  some collector/scarcity value- particularly those in unfired condition.
