Thanks Garrison Joe, looks like I'll be going with a 70 series Mark IV Government Model O, in stainless. Found one on Gunbroker for a shade over $800. I'll give it a once over when I get it in to smooth it up, then it will be time to put some rounds through it. I figure as long as I'm traveling to some longer distance events, I might as well get a little more shooting in. Picking up an 1897 12 ga. at Land Run kicked open the opportunity, so looking forward to it. Regards, Johnny

Hi all, Thought I would toss out a question. I'm looking to pick up a 1911 for shooting wild bunch in the traditional category. I want to go with a Colt, just for nostalgia if nothing else. In looking through the rules, it looks like a Colt Classic model should meet all the requirements, but I didn't know if there are any other models I should be looking at? Also, are there some generations or model years that are better than others? Aside from general slicking up the gun, is there anything else I should plan on for shooting wild bunch? Any thoughts on stainless vs blued? Also looks like a 70 series should work for traditional? Thanks in advance for any feedback. Johnny
