How many of you own Colt Sistemas? I have 2 and they shoot great. I also paid less for them than new Colts. Has anyone else had had good/bad experiences with the gun?

Hey Man:
You are talking to yourself. You're the only one with that Argentine stuff. Should have bought American. :sorry:

I've been looking for Systema I seen a whole write-up on it at http://www.homegunsmith.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST&f=10&t=11553&st . If your patient enough to find the beginning of the thread, Pvt. Ryan takes you from the beginning w/ mill etc. to the final phase.
The best price I could find for a good sistema was $350 without shipping etc.

I've been on a waiting list for a sistema for like 2 years. It's been so damn long I don't even remember the name of the company. They have been having customs problems suppossedly. I wish I would have bought one years ago when they were dirt cheap.
$350 is a good price for a sistema these days

I don't remember how much my friend wants for his. I want to say like $400-$450, but I don't really remember. It's alittle late here, so I shouldn't call him and ask. I do remember it is new and very G.I. He is a FFL holder so everything has to be by the books. If anyone is intrested, send me a pm and I'll get ahold of him, maybe we can work something out.
I've recently heard (on a 1911 forum) that the Sistema and M1927, etc. are "soft" and shouldn't be shot a lot. Does anybody know if this is true? I've been thinking about buying one, the only bad thing is I like to shoot my guns, a lot! I don't want anything that's going to shoot loose after a while. What do you guys think?
Some people think anything not built in the USA is junk, they are wrong. Alot of people have used the Sistema Modelo 1927 for a base, to build custom pistols. I shoot mine stock. They work very well and are made of quality steel. Enjoy your pistol however you like.
It's not like taking an intact pinfire and chopping the barrel and checkering the stock, pictures when you're done.

some of the purists might moan to a degree but its your pistol. You enjoy it however you like. I wouldnt cut on the frame but there are many aftermarket parts available to make the Sistema a super shooter and you can always save the original parts and put it back together original if you decide to sell it.....have fun with it. Thats why you bought it wasnt it ?tygrstryp said:
I havn't actually bought it yet. The story goes like this: my dealer does a lot of special orders for people. A couple of years back a guy wanted one of these so the dealer gets two of them. Dealer gets a discount for ordering two. Well he's been putting the pistol on his gunshow table for the last two years and still has it! He's got to the point where he just wants to get rid of it, so he offers me a fair deal on it. I think I'll take it.
