If you bought it and got a toaster delivered, there would still be people on forums saying Colt needed to fold and good for CZ to buy it

What’s your problem.
It’s a single action only in caliber “Shoot’em All Over”. It’s an easy to carry .45 inch long model, yet still holds a full 5 inches worth of SAO ammo. It’s got your standard 1911 safeties as you’d expect from Colt and has an amazing 7 sighting options plus the basic sights that come on the gun. Seems legit to me.

I'm interested in the 7+1 sighting options. Now that's something I want to see.

According to the PDF the capacity is 5 inches and the color is 7+1

Amusing. Kind of like a couple columns in a spreadsheet didn't quite line up they way they were supposed to.

They might be using Dominion software.

I was trying to figure out if that meant 7 rear sights and 1 front sight or the other way around and which might be better.
