Well the 'new' version is out (Army style they call it) stainless frame, but no mention of the weight.

I shoot it in .45 LC and yes I believe it is

Well,  as stated, I'm betting the next version with the new coating will shave the weight. Also, weighed my Chip Mags and they are all at or below 2 oz unloaded so I think I'll 'make the weight' class  Thanks for the tips

True.  I may wait until the new version with the ionbond coating comes out and weigh it,maybe its lighter  Most likely i'll just use what I know to be legal and then there wont be an issue.  Thanks all for the responses!

Well, I'll adapt and overcome  I have two other 1911 (RR from WWII and a 'new' -reissue Colt 1911) that will work. BUT, I don't get why the  all the fuss about weight?  Power factor on rds I get.  I don't see what the advantage would be to have a very slightly heavier gun. Oh well

Really?  Someone would call me out for .4 of an ounce over in weight???

Is this pistol (you know the one with the puke brown coloring) legal for MOD Class? It has a rail

Well, Ive read this post since I got my Colt 1911 reproduction model  I bought four additional 'off the shelf' Colt type mags.  Along with the two that came with the gun, I went to the range. WELL, three of them would not lock back the slide, two of them would not drop constantly and so, after about 500 rds of ball FMJ ammo to get the gun warmed up I came home and bought 6 new M'Cormick mags from Brownells.  Put the four in the junk drawer and the original two I packed up in the box.  Nuff said
