Anyone know what years Colt used MIM extractors in the late 90s/early 2000s? I've got my eye on some decently priced "Enhanced MKIV" examples from the mid-to late 90s. Don't have anything against MIM in other parts of the gun, but I've read the extractors used in this period were prone to breakage.
I handled a 95 Combat Commander--loved the feel. Fit seemed good on everything. Subjectively, it felt like a much nicer gun than the WC CCO I had a few years back--which had a shitty-feeling grip safety, mushy thumb safety and a rattle-trap slide. Also saw a 1997 (MKIV/E) listed nearby for a slightly better price. But I'm thinking that has a higher potential of being a "MIM year"?
I dig the look of the Enhanced guns. The top-rib and the slanted serrations appease my aesthetic sensibilities. Also prefer the shorter trigger in these vs. the long example used in the Commanders and Competitions currently.
