Of course don't mention Colt in that. (I wouldn't mind an Ithaca.) I wish Colt would start back doing WWII reproductions, they did a few years ago I guess before they started doing WWI repros.

With a newer reproduction you're able to get one with the old school look and better steel. Better fit too.

I wont buy a colt either, dont like their business practices and there guns cost way too much for what you get, ffanboys just hype them saying there the original, like that means anything. For the prices they charge a springfield or smith and wesson will have more features, tighter fit and more bang for your buck.

While two of mine wear Novak's, I think Heine's are the better way to go. They may not be "snag free" I much rather have sights that allow for one hand clearing.
Also I think most of us know you hate Colt, no need to keep repeating it over and over again.
