...firearm post from Kut.
Anyways, a few weeks ago a friend told me about a 1911 he was trying to unload from a deceased relative, and wondered if I’d be interested. Today I took a look at it, and it was an immaculate Colt 1911 from the 50s. Never had a 1911, because besides being ugly and unreliable (lol), CM likes them, and I don’t want to be CM’s toadie. I asked him what he wants for it, and he said $800.
Now, that seems like a steal. Is it? I don’t want to cheat the guy, so I’ll pay him with it’s worth if higher (accounting for friend “discount”). What can the INGO gurus tell me about this weapon. Actual worth, reliability, just general knowledge. Is is something to own and have fun with? Or does it become a safe queen?
Thanks in advance.
