I would say I have reservations about them. I've owned three (3) new production Colts. Only the Gold Cup remains, I sold the other two. One was the limited edition one and the other was a combat commander (9mm). The LE had feeding issues but seemed to work consistently with the provided Colt mag, other mags were hit or miss. The combat commander would throw brass in my face but was otherwise fairly reliable. I sent it back to Colt (probably an extractor issue I could in theory replace/fix myself, but don't want to spend the money and effort to fix a brand new item). Got it back from Colt and still had the same problem (the service notes said they changed the recoil spring). Didn't want to hassle with sending it back again, so I sold it. That also had some feeding problems. The Gold Cup has been completely reliable. The only issue I've had is the safety being extremely stiff out of the box (an issue when putting it back on safe). It's worn in and works fine now. Overall I would say you're rolling the dice, mostly with regard to reliability. What gets me is that the guns "seem" to be very high quality when you get them in hand, take them apart, look at them etc. And they are by far the best looking 1911s available. They are guns I really wish I could recommend, but I just can't. Others say they are fine, maybe I just got unlucky with regard to reliability
