Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 https://www.colt.com/detail-page/1911-black-army Looks like a re-issue of the WW1 replicas, only a little less fancy and hopefully a little cheaper as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 a little better than shooting my original 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VICIOUS, SASS#8014 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 WE don't need no sights, point and shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Word is that they're already shipping to distributors so they should be available in a week or so. Hopefully they sell for less than that MSRP. Knowing most online sellers though they'll mark them up another hundred bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen some small Wild Bunch targets. Nothing like CAS big n close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Doesn't Wild Bunch require a 1911 with small GI sights? Otherwise what's the point? That's like shooting CAS with Colt single actions using big target sights on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Two categories, Traditional and Modern. Traditional requires small, stock sights like these, shot one handed. Modern allows adjustable sights and two handed hold, among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditional requires small, stock sights like these, shot one handed. Modern allows adjustable sights and two handed hold, among other things. Unless the rules have changed recently, the larger fixed sights like on my Colt govt. model are acceptable for traditional. The white dots however, have to be blacked out. To the OP, that's pretty cool. If I had some excess cash (and it seems I never do), I'd consider getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 In the traditional category replacement larger fixed sights are allowed. At the moment only 2 non-manufacturer supplied replacement sights are listed as legal. WBAS targets are smaller and further out than CAs targets. Even with larger sights and adjustable ones on the modern category pistols only 1 person has ever shot WBAS clean at EOR. It's a shooting match. Come and have fun. No silly target engagements, just good fun shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
