I suggest to find a Colt Gold Cup National Match 70 series from early 1980s.
There is a like new one with a presentation box on GB for 1500 was not sold for a while. Maybe worth 1200 or so


Here is an excellent one

Stating your max budget would help zeroing on your pistol. Also, Are you considering new only, or new/used would be ok?

Among other expensive 1911 pistols, I have

Para 1911 single stack , SS in 45 ACP

RIA 1911 single stack, Creakote in 9mm

Both are excellent shooters. If you can tune a trigger or polish control surfaces they will only get better.
I recommend the Rem new 1911 (fab by Para) too.

Does it have to be a Colt?
