I have several semi-auto pistols for defence

and I like them, they serve a purpose in my collection. But they are not used all that much for "fun", and they chuck my brass in the bushes!

The Colt Clone for the $500 price range pushes several buttons. The mechanical enjoyment of all the clicks, and the click-clickety-click of all the locking points coming into time. The historical aspect of the rig with no external safeties is a pleasure. And the little cartridge is a fun one. The fixed sights have never really been a hamper for me as I can regulate them or the load.

I kind of have been wanting a shorter barrel version but the 5.5" is a close second. Most of my sixguns seem to have longer barrels and a change might be nice. I'm not sure if it would like .309" slugs or prefer .312" but either is doable. .314 is only a paint coat away too.

I think with the market as is I can clear a trade easily and come out favorable.
