That is nice! I hope the rail gun thing is just for the show. I see it also has a proper beavertail. I guess there goes another $1000.

Aren't they the folks who make the 6920? They're making 1911s now? Neat!

Nice to see COLT is in "touch" with their customer base in addtion to being so responsive and accomodating to the customer base so expediantly, NOT !
My belief is that the Colt's Rail Gun is a spoof attempt on USGs' Rail Gun. I doubt that it's going to be the commercial name. Just speculation however.
"CRG" is an acronym for FBI's "Crisis Response Group" and Colt could not commercially use that w/o FBI's approval which I doubt would happen.
It is a step in the right direction evolutionarily speaking for the 1911 and Colt IMO.
Glad to see they responded so quickly. About three years QUICKLY as well !

I see RAIL GUN on the side of a weapon and I'm thinking of something completely different!
I agree that it looks like crap on an otherwise nice pistol. Let's hope it goes away.

Wow! I think olds442guy got it right...Colt finally stepped up to the 1990s for their 1911s!

I like a high-cut front strap on a 1911, but I don't like Colt's version. I would rather they leave it "uncut", than use that uncomfortable and unattractive contour.
It appears that it has the typical Colt razor sharp edges. I suppose when they are paying union wages, they can't afford to make the edges any softer.
Oh - and I don't like front serrations, but I may be in the minority on that.
