There are three new additions to the Colt Rail Gun® family. First is the O4012RG Colt Combat Commander® Rail Gun® with Picatinny rail. It brings together popular features of the original Colt Commander, the Colt M45A1, and the Colt Rail Gun®. Like the other Rail Gun® models, it features the M1913 government length Picatinny rail for accessory mounting on the dust cover. Inside is a dual recoil spring system based on the one used in the Colt M45A1, so shooters experience less recoil. The slide and receiver are stainless steel, with a Colt extended single side safety lock to allow ease of use for various hand sizes. Additional features and specs include an upswept grip safety with palm swell for an enhanced grip, .45 ACP chambering, 4.25-inch National Match® barrel and 7.75-inch overall length. There will also be a Lighweight Commander Rail Gun®, O4840RG, offered with a hard coat anodized aluminum receiver. The MSRP of both the O4012RG and the O4840RG is $1,198.

The third handgun joining the Rail Gun® family is the O1880RG. This is a Government Model® Rail Gun® with a hard coat annodized aluminum receiver, making it lighter weight than its steel receiver predecessors. It also has front and rear wide slide serrations. Features shared with the original Rail Gun® models include an upswept beavertail grip safety with palm swell, Novak® sights and Colt extended single side safety lock. The O1880RG is chambered in .45 ACP and has a five-inch National Match barrel. Its MSRP is $1,198.

Two new handguns will be joining the Colt XSE Series. The O4662XSE Lightweight Commander® adds a 9mm option to this family. This model closley resembles the O4860XSE that customers are familiar with. Features include a stainless colored cerakoted aluminum receiver, brushed stainless steel slide, front and rear slide serrations and Novak sights. An upswept beavertail grip safety with palm swell and enhanced cut under the trigger guard give users a very secure hold. A stainless Government Model chambered in 9mm will also be offered in the XSE family, O1092XSE. The MSRP of both the O4662XSE and the O1092XSE is $1,104.

Colt’s classic 1991 Series will now give customers three different caliber options with the addition of the O1992 model, chambered in 9mm. The other two chambering options are .45 ACP and .38 Super. Aside from the chambering, the new 1991 model mirrors the original .45 ACP model. Descending from the original M1911 design, the gun features a long trigger, flat mainspring housing and original style recoil spring system. Updates to the 1991 model include white dot sights and a lowered ejection port for extra reliability. The O1992 MSRP is $907.

The final new handgun introduction is the O5870A1 Gold Cup National Match. This handgun features the Series 70™ firing system along with a classic flat top slide. The Colt Gold Cup is known as the finest shooting semi-automatic in the world, and is the standard for competitive guns. Other features of the O5870A1 include an adjustable wide trigger, National Match barrel, adjustable target sights, and many other refinements as standard. It has a lowered and flared ejection port and blued carbon steel slide and receiver. The MSRP is $1,250.

I am interested in the 70 Series Gold Cup....

I'm not particularly fond of rails to mount doo-dads on a 1911. But a Colt 9mm 1911 appeals to me. And I really like my Gold Cup Trophy. I'm not sure what the National Match has that the Trophy doesn't.

The 70 Series Gold Cup also interests me. I've vowed, however, to not buy any new guns until I get a new safe and some other "accessories." I've broken that vow more than once. :)
