Spingfield 1911

but hell yeah. They are great. $530 is a great price for this one. Do you know the owner?

is a member at another gun forum.
I've not met him. Phone and pm only.
In Austin.

that didn't work.
Tried to add another picture.

this is exactly how mine started out. I dumped way too much $$ into mine, but it's my favorite range pistol.

exactly what I had in mind.
I got a neighbor who ranks nationally with race guns. Between his "know how" and hydraulic Dillon setup, I might go broke.

depending on what you do to it. I've put more money into mine than the gun costs, but my trigger gives me a hard on. I would have saved money if I had bought it with all of the bells and whistles straight from the factory.

It's definitely a good 1911 for the price. If you compare the other models in that price range, I would rather have the mil spec springer.

value will never go down.

I pick that up faster than a fat chick running to the all you can eat buffet.

clint

this looks to be a nice piece. As shiny and smooth as that stainless is, it is pretty obvious it hasnt been mistreated or abused. I would be willing to bet it hasnt been in a holster much if at all. I put my Hard Baller in a Galco and noticed fine wear scratches immediately. I have posted pics of my gun here and Clint has seen it and fired it so you all know it is a beautiful piece. The gun in the pic above is even shinier and finer polished than what I have so it would certainly show poor handling.

S field 1911 looks like a nice gun

My bro picked it up today. I mail him a check tomorrow and pick it up from him next trip south.
:-)

how many miles thru it?

Vaquero,now if i could get cheap ass ^^^^^ to send me the 22 rifle,we'd both have a new toy to shoot hahahaha!

Very nice piece for sure. That is a keeper and as pointed out it will only go up in value over time. I'd keep it stock beyond sights and maybe a trigger job to smooth it out. Though it will smooth out on it's own after some rounds are put through it.

Hell, I'd carry it for that matter!
