And my problem is I like Colts. My dad liked Rugers, but mostly revolvers. People have their preferences for whatever reasons and that’s cool!
I don't think you can go very wrong with a Colt. In fact, I have thought that four times already and haven't been wrong yet. To me, the price of a Colt has a great product per buck ratio. My favorite Colt is a Mark IV series 70. It shoots great and is highly reliable. The only issue to me was its trigger was not as smooth as my custom 1911s. Go figure. A few hundred rounds took care of that issue. Hmmm... I really need to go to the range more often...

No experience with Wessons but I hear good things here and elsewhere.
