This thread is from 2004, but it's all I can find on the Recon. John
http://www.1911forum.com/forums/show...ighlight=recon 1000? made in '97. See post #12... "Originally Posted by UdontnoME they are asking $795. Personally it all depends on how bad you want one. All else being equal, it might be worth a bit more than a standard Colt in the same condition, or if a guy is dying to own one he may be willing to pay several hundred over a standard Colt to own it." "When new, they were the same price and features as a 1991. If it's a must-have, I suppose $795 isn't out of line, but realistically this gun is more of a $500 gun IMO. Heck, the Lt Comm was a similar gun, much nicer finish though, and we sold it for 550 area. __________________ Mike Firearms Plus" |

Colt Recon 1911
After reading several blogs about the Colt Recon 1911, and recently purchasing one, I wondered why everyone was guessing about information about the Colt Recon. It would seem obvious to me to call Colt directly and find out, and is exactly what I did.
I spoke to Colt on 12/10/08 about the Colt Recon 1911. I was told that they were manufactured in 1996. It was a special edition run and only 487 were made. I paid 400.00 for mine and it is in excellent condition. So I think for that price, it was an awesome deal. |
