Favorite guns are pretty much any colt pre 1970 era. Have several. Its a disease really. Partial to 1911a1 and 1911. Military related firearms as well. Heck, just about anything. Really like the history of them. Originally from the CT river valley and have had family members employed by colt in the 50/60 s

In regards to the CMP, I think its a few hoops to jump through and the prices are a bit high considering you cannot choose exactly what you get depending on grade.
That being said, if I did not already have a few, I would take the risk and do it in a heart beat. I would want the 'auction' grade but would not be willing to take the risk of losing the auction. I would just buy the highest grade I could afford and cross my fingers. Will probably be fine and they are great shooters not to mention the historic value...
now you got me excited....maybe I will get one
