Colt 1911 Combat Elite

First, the Colt Combat Elite is nothing short of amazing. Have already run 100 rounds through it - pull the trigger and it goes bang - every time. Quality piece of art. Buds Gun Shop made it easy. Fair price, consistent delivery, and surprising follow up

Great place to order a gun. Prior to the sale all questions were answered promptly. I used a preferred FFL dealer with no issues and transfer cost was as noted on Bud's site. Timing on shipment and receipt was very quick. I highly recommend Bud's.

Best combat pistol on the market for less than $1k. Super accurate out of the box. Durable, reliable, perfect fit. I've never had any issues with ammo types or function with a colt. Thanks Buds, I'll keep buying.

The Combat Elite arrived quickly and in great shape. While there are concerns about Colt's financial restructuring, this pistol shows great craftsmanship and attention to detail. I could go on and talk about the various parts and technical mumbo jumbo but

Lets start with Bud's service, first rate. Delivery in about a week from placing the order, everything as expected. I'll continue to use Bud's with a high degree of confidence. Now the gun, unlike some guns that you may get rid of after a few years, this

The Colt Combat Elite surely lived up to its billing, after all, it is a Colt. Very tight frame to slide fit and there is absolutely no rattles. Beautiful two tone finish with its matching wood grips. Dissasembly of the pistol is quite a pain as I've to p
