    Colt's railed 1911.

    Looks like Colt has stepped up to the 1990's!

    Surely COLT didn't put that stupid "COLT RAIL GUN" on the slide.

    That has to be a bad taste custom. (or photoshop)

    Nope. They're showing it at SHOT and letting people shoot it right now.

    I could do with out the "rail gun" too.

    Wow. It's an otherwise nice looking pistol.

    After the 1991A1 roll mark, the CRG mark wouldn't surprise me a bit.

    I sometimes wonder if Colt's mission statement includes ideas like "follow the pack at a safe distance" and "insure intellectual capital is squandered and/or given at no cost to competitors."

    I hope the RAIL GUN thing is just for the shot show and isn't on the production guns.

    I could do without the "Rail Gun" thing but other than that it looks great!

    I wonder if Colt has ever heard of a real rail gun.

    Rollmark drama in general is something I tend to avoid, as less is definitely more; that said, spelling "COLT RAIL GUN" out like that does seem a bit out of place. Even marking this model "CRG" would be a vast improvement.
