I'm looking to pick up another 1911 pattern pistol, this time in 9mm. Missed out on one recently because I was just too busy to spare the time to close the deal. I'm poking around for a Colt (among others), but I know Colt was making some dumb decisions for a while. Seems like they've bounced back though.
I'm specifically looking for a Colt Defender, blue, in 9mm. Anyone here have any input on new production Colts in general, or Defenders specifically? Are they producing quality firearms, or cost cutting for the sake of profitability? How's the fit and finish?
I know I could look up reviews elsewhwere, but I'd prefer to hear from you guys who have actual gun-in-hand opinions, not paid shills for or against.
