Mornin ladies.

Morning Folks!



How many of these have you tricked out, then sent off to new homes?

Lost count.
These were my go to out of the box basic platform. The barrels are good and frame to slide is acceptable if you look around. PSS used to have a few in stock most of the time. I would fondle all of them and pick the tightest one.

The "Normal" you speak of has left the station.

You can still get a deal on a loaded or an RO if you look around.

Buds has them for $767 right now so this one is no deal.

With free shipping and no sales tax, you'd be out $782 with transfer at USDS. Buying local would only save $32 over buying new, but would give you an untraceable serial number if you are in the tin foil hat crowd. But, it would cost you the ability to return it to Bud's for a new one if it's a rare (very rare) lemon. Like you say, no real deal there on that one.

I knew that one wasn't a deal, but looking on GunWatcher I saw the lowest price was ~$750 and I was shocked. I remember getting ready to buy one at BGF when I bought my loaded and it was under $700.

I will never pay new price's for used guns shot or not.
Still a used gun.

Yep, I agree with that wholeheartedly.

 

[RustyHornet]

I paid $650 for my barely shot RO last August.

Yep, I recall when I was looking for my first 1911 I was seeing them go around that in the classifieds. I missed out on 3 or 4 of those deals.

 

[churchmouse]

Yep, I agree with that wholeheartedly.

Not a knock on he seller.
Ask what you will.
If someone steps up........good on them.

Yep. It's actually a good starting point seeing that's the lowest price I'm seeing online. I would go no higher than $700 if I were in the market, but at least there's room to negotiate.

The RO would have to be your go to 1911 at the 700.00 price point. Pretty awesome trigger straight from the box and Springfield is excellent to deal with!

I have the Loaded model, so I wouldn't be interested in a RO. Ironically, fondling a RO at BGF is what got me into 1911's...

Love the Champion Operator I picked up really nice trigger. RO, Loaded, TRP just awesome production 1911s.

That is a highly commendable plan. I'm sure we will all be sad when it passes away before its time.
