Tried to do a search on the Colt Officers Model. Question. Is $500.00 a good price for a blue Colt Officers Model with little wear? Finally got around to taking some pics. I have lots of modifications and new grips on my wish list.

It's the MKIV blue model. I plan on having a black teflon finish put on by Birdsong, get Novak sights and let a local .45 smith give it a once over. Then it will be my carry gun. By the way......................you did a great job with yours!!

I'll be picking it up this evening. I'll post some pics. I'm going to send it to Birdsong for a Black Teflon finish, have a local gunsmith mill and put Novack low mount tridium sights, trigger work and maybe a beaver tail grip safety. I don't want to know what I'll have invested in it when I get finished.

kingsgunworks.com/newcatalog/page04.html Part 306A; replaces the Officers ACP spring plug which is held captive by a little metal piece which mates with a recess milled in the slide. This part has been known to fail/shear off, completely disabling the pistol. This kit is a mod I had added to my current Officers ACP. I also had my first Officers ACP launch its front sight. Single tenon stake w/ high slide velocity is not a good thing  A Novaks dovetailed front sight is a very good idea. My second (and current) Officers ACP has dual crimped Millet sights, which are OK.I do indeed like the Officers Model, but they do have quirks out of the box to be aware of. |
