Should I buy a Colt ACE.

outside lubricated,

It wasn't lube though. I had a solid amount of lead that had blown in between the floating chamber and the barrel where it "Floated"...and it would be solid so it couldn't do it's job of actuating the slide movement.

You can Colt Ace is a really nice gun and it shoots well.

I put a complete Ace slide together from single parts from Numrich back in the late ‘70’s and fitted it to my ipsc match 1911 pistol. Nowhere near as accurate as my Woodsmans but I used it as a practice gun for ipsc. 22s were dirt cheap then compared to reloading .45acp. A complete pistol would be a cool 1911 variation to add to a collection.

Update reference the ACE with Covid and everything here in the UK, we decided not too buy the pistol, so we found something else, still a Colt & a 1911 but in 9mm a Series 70 Factory 9mm version dated to 1972 its in mint condition, and as we already own other 9mm's it fits in well with the 9mm collection.

That should handle any ammo you wish to feed it and give flawless accuracy and performance.
