Your link didn't work. Try THIS ONE (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/07/28/marines-pay-22m-to-go-back-to-their-old-guns-colt-45-caliber-pistols/).
Very nice.
Du'uh......I shoulda checked, but didn't. That's the one, thanks.
I wonder what the coating is on these guns. Anyone heard? Cerakote, Gunkote?
Too bad they didn't opt for a 10mm :P
This article says the finish is indeed Cerakote.

It also says the recoil system is the same dual recoil spring as the new Delta 10mm.
That is interesting.....wonder how long before Colt has a 'special edition' for the public. ;D I've never heard of the potential third bidder on the contract. Karl Lippart (sp?) Designs?
