Stillwater,
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of maybe ten or so C&B revolvers. Most are second generation types. The remaining two or three are clones. For my 1911A1 herd, I have six... I think at the last count. Four of those are Colt. 
Myself, I have two Second Generation Colts, I have an 1851 Navy and an 1861 Navy. I have quiet a few Uberti reproductions which I really like. In fact I have a 1836 Patterson being delivered to me tomorrow afternoon.
In the 1911 arena, you probably wouldn't believe how many of those great pistols I have... I have 15 Colt 1911's. There are five Series 70 Gold Cups. One Springfield TRP Operator. I have an 80 Series 1911, a 90 Series 1911, and the rest are Series 70 Government Models.
I have a Commercial Model 1911, the model Colt made immediately before the Series 70 Government model was issued.
All of the Series 70 Government Models have been
accurized by Jim Hoag, a long time friend. One of the Gold Cups was converted into a Hardball pistol. The former owner, now late and unlamented, spent over $2000.00 having that particular pistol modified. I spent over $400.00 having some of the hardball improvements that were made, set right. I got rid of the stippled grip and had the front and rear straps checkered at 24 LPI. I had the Eliason sight removed and an original Bomar sight installed.
Now, that Colt pistol really, really works better than any other 1911/Gold Cup I have ever shot. It will reliably feed a fired case.
I acquired most of the 1911's I have, while I worked at King Gun Works. King's is closed now, due to the death of Arnold Capone, the owner, but at the time if was one of the premier Colt 1911 modification concerns.
A well modified, well working Colt 1911, is a joy to behold, a thing of beauty to own and use.
Bill
