This is United States firearms best shot at reproducing the SA Colt as it was made from 1920-40- the period that many enthusiasts consider the best for quality control and such. Article:

It is expensive like a current colt but many believe the quality to be higher. When this was written I had not quite figured out the optimum trigger finger placement and was having to hold high and left to compensate. Now, I find it very usefully accurate for bumming around and shooting small game

I ordered spare springs and hand and bolt out of respect for the tendency of them to fatique and break.
