    45 Colt options for Traditional Wild Bunch

    in The Wild Bunch Wire

    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
