That's what's known as a 1911(C) retirement plan right there.
That was smart thinking on your part!The Colt market is pretty absurd. It's been that way for nearly two decades now, but skyrocketed in the last 36 months...even more so in the last 18.
I bought four Colt custom shop 1911s in 2019 just because I knew that they would increase in value should I ever decide to sell. I paid between $1,530 (McMillan grey M45A1) and $1,820 (FDE M45A1). The two SCRCs were $1,640, and I bought the last two from the distributor.
I have yet to see a CS M45A1 sell for less than $2,750 (NIB) on Gunbroker in the last three months, and the last time I saw a Special Combat Rail Commander - which was about 8 months ago - it came up for a non-bid fixed price of $2,700 (used) and was gone within a couple days.
Even the Special Combat Govt out of the CS is bringing $2K plus now already.
Stupid prices, but I'm glad I bought when I did. Wish I had bought four more...
