    Never owned one. They came and went pretty quickly in the early 90's. The impression I got is that Colt dropped them like a hot potato, because they weren't selling.

    There were two versions, the earlier had a aluminum alloy frame. The latter with a plastic frame. Supposedly the one with the aluminum frame functioned better.

    Still see a lot of them around, so Colt must have made a bunch in the couple of years they were in production. If you have a chance to get one NIB with all original accessories and paperwork at a reasonable price, I would jump on it. All low production Colt guns seem to appreciate greatly value wise to collectors.

    Colt labelled this flop the "All American", presumeably trying to emphasize for marketing purposes the American design and manufacture of what is essentially a European-style double action 9mm luger pistol.

    Its sort of ironic, since most gun-fans would probably argue that the real "All American" is the iconic Colt (Browning) .45 ACP 1911 pistol.

    Anyway, according to this source, only 6000 were made, though presumably they mean only 6000 of the aluminum alloy framed version:

    I've had two, one of 1000 edition (aluminum frame) and a plastic frame version to actually shoot. The "limited edition" is much nicer in finish. The plastic framed one had a really gritty trigger pull,
    to my feel. Now maybe it would work in but I traded out of it. The "collector " version has yet to appreciate any, that I'm aware of. It was made to attempt to break into the LE and military market, and as writers have said, too little, too late. It is unique but when you have so many really great choices in that time period, and with newer 9mm's that are even better have come in the last few years, I would say it IS COLT, is different, but a poor investment.

    beantown and allechaney have hit all the high points about the all american. there were alot of reliability issues, but it's actually very comfortable to shoot (the trigger is easily fixed). i've put 7 or 800 rounds thru mine and like it a lot for plinking.
    the alloy framed verions are harder to come by and would be the way to go for a nib collectible, but even the poly guns maintain their value. unfortunately, they are not appreciating like other limited run colts. treated kinda like a red haired step child by collectors.[:0]
