...Okay, saw it in the Used case. Has a sweet, smooth, slide action... & other than some minimal holster wear, looks as good as some new ones that a business friend was considering. Apparently, fired for qualification, by a court officer, but has seen little range time...... $499 **IS THAT A GOOD PRICE?** *What are comps in your area??? *SHOULD I give the homeless 1911 a place to live? ((If so, I may need to move quickly))
I agree. That is a hell of a deal, if it has not been modified. The one think you need to worry about is the feed ramp. For some reason everybody wants to break out the dremel. Other than that they usually sell for around 575-700, depending on condition. If everything checks out, Ill jump on it. Hell try to negotiate a lower price. It never hurts.
you can "over" do anything. I'm sure you knew what I meant. Over polishing would be the same as grinding or changing the angle of the ramp.
It doesn't hurt if you do it right. I have seen enough damaged feed ramps to know better. As soon as their pistol starts to act up, the first think everyone wants to do is polish the feed ramp. As soon as they screw the job up, it is up for sale. Another problem is a throat job, which I lump into the feed ramp polishing. I would say that 30% of the used guns I see for sale at shops are butchered in that way.
Of the loaded SA's, the parked is the one that catches my eye, esp for a working gun. Once the high spots get some wear and the steel is peeking through, they just turn drop dead seeeexxxxyyyy.
Scored a parked SA Loaded NIB with Trij NS today @ my local shop.... Traded a G23 (G2) LE as partial payment ( I have a NIB G23 that I still have to get to the range....!!) This SA is SWEET!! Trigger is butter!!! SA actually gives you TWO mags ---- vs just ONE for the Kimber.... Not really into "pimping" my 1911s....and don't think I'll have too much to worry about with this SA; if it shoots like the Kimber...I'm GOLDEN!! Good luck on your purchase...and your "build"!!!
