They do look a little out of my budget. I have three back to back to back long weekend Halloween races so I bought this for my TX22 compact so I’m taking a break from spending. Lol

Sold this Argentine 1927 about 5 years ago and just got it back, Sis to the 1911 45 and did a few mods to it years ago but still have all the original parts.

I miss my Rotts. How's the full tail? I loved watching the stub tail wiggle on my dogs.

Ive had both and both have their own expressions. The full tail seems to lend as a rudder. The stub did tell some stories.

post some pictures!

Yep, technically not actually made by Colt but licensed. See @Phreakish post below. They relocated a bunch of their equipment down there as they modernized plant in US. Here is a funny story about that. So early 80s I am competing in the very new what will become IDPA Division matches back when Bill Wilson was still shooting with us and not famous. I was welding bolt handles on old military rifles for him at a place called Berryville Machine shop, owned by the Jackson family. I was rocking a National Match Colt Gold Cup and it broke down mid match. Just so happened a had a Argentinian beater 1911 under seat in the truck. I grabbed it tore it apart found the part i needed hit it with a file, put it in my fancy Colt and finished the match!

Sounds like something you would do and that's call ingenuity. :thumbsup:
 
So question to all y’all. I just got a Aero Precision X15 in a trade. It has a 223 Wylde barrel. Anyone have any experience at all with the brand? I have never even had a student in class rock one much less have I ever shot one. Anybody know anything about them? Seems pretty darn well built?

Welcome,
as you have likely figured out if you have been reading this thread. Most all of us see 2A as both a right and a responsibility to pass on to our children. Much like your Father. We do have some folks that are here just for the outstanding dog pix tho! Hah!
