Colt 1911 Ser No USA1911MS (Mississippi) one of a kind on auction

This would be neat, but I don't have the jack for it.

A limited edition of one-per-state "Heritage Edition" Colt 1911 pistols, featuring custom engraving and highly collectible serial numbers, is currently being auctioned on GunBroker.com with proceeds to benefit the Hunting Heritage Trust.

The Custom M1991A1 pistols were prepared by the Colt Custom Shop in cooperation with the Hunting Heritage Trust and are available on GunBroker.com only through December 18, 2011. Only one pistol per state was produced in the series.

Yeah,
The one for Texas is already past $1700. I couldn't have one as a collector. I would reduce the value by shooting the heck out of it.

if it stays under $2k it'll be a good steal for a collector. I'm more inclined to shoot my guns....and I mean hundreds of rounds at a time.....that one probably wouldn't be worth that $2k for long if I owned it. who knows though....i might could resist the temptation......

I enjoy shooting to much to own a collector item but it is a great looking firearm

My guess is that it would not be worth all that much as a collector item...even if held a few years and was unfired

New Colts don't hold a candle to the oldies

Could be, but I for one am glad that US gun makers continue to support venues such as this. Oh, and like the rest.. I am shooter not a collector.

Could have got a decent Les Baer for that

Yeah, it would be hard to just look at it!
