The thumb safety is a lot different too and the trigger is a little short for a true 1911, but not as short as a 1911A1. The checkering on the magazine release, slide lock and the recoil spring plug are not as fine as on the old Colts. Cimarron does offer them in blued, which would be more accurate, and nickel finishes. For one thing it is parkerized, a finish that was not in use yet. It is a pretty close copy of a WWI era Colt, but it isn’t perfect. The pistol Cimarron sent me for review is the parkerized version. The patent dates are there on the left side and there is even a horse - not a Colt prancing pony, mind you, but a Cimarron horse and rider. It seems a lot of the newer 1911 makers have huge billboard letters on the slides to advertize the maker, but the Cimarron stays true to the subtle style of the original Colts. A detail that stands out on the Cimarron 1911 is its minimalist markings.
The Cimarron 1911 is made in the Philipines by Armscor, the same makers of the Rock Island brand and others.
