The grips are one of the few things that won't interchange but mostly everything off the colts will. And it was a fraction of the cost a colt or Springfield would have cost. I would like some mor info on the polishing if you could give me any.
I know I'm gonna catch hell for this especially being a veteran but buying a Colt is like buying a John Deer or Harley (and I have a Harley), you pay for the name now-a-days.
