I have been Jonesing for a Colt Combat Elite 1911 for years but was never able to come up with a good trade or enough money when they were available. On a whim I put my Taurus Judge up for trade that I shot a few times then decided that it was a piece of junk. The Gods must have been smiling on me because a nice man offered an even trade for the Colt Combat for the Judge. I asked him if he felt that it was a good trade and he said that some guy had given him the Colt and he never really liked it so it had little value to him.
