Are they any good? Was offered a brand new one today in trade for a rifle at the Allentown Gunshow. I know what I have in the rifle and I know what this guy told me the NIB S A was worth. After checking on GB for going prices he is a little off but now much. This is the full size model with blue finish. I can hagge the price with im but I'm just curious if those guns are any good. Being that I am not a handgun fanatic I can be snookered if I'm not carefull.

    Never seen one thats blued from SA, always been parkerised- But that don't mean anything. I have a NM SA 1911a1 allways been reliable for me. I us it for shooting plates. BTW Thanks for the card [:)][:D].

    Lonnie is that the 7+1 or the 10+1? E-mail me and I'll tell you the dealer cost on each.

    I bought my son one a couple weeks ago for his birthday. I have not got to shoot it yet because he won't put it down for one minute. He says he's put about 500 rounds through it so-far and has had no major problems yet. One of the hand-grips cracked close to the screw-hole after about 20 rounds. He says it's very accurate at 30 yards. Only time will tell weather or not it holds up to his abuse[?] I paid $520.00 for the Mil.Spec. Stainless 1911-A1, N.I.B.

    Doesn't sound too bad a deal to me, with a minor amount of work, I'd trust it as a full-time carry gun.

    Allen, it is the 10+1, will send you an email as soon as my server starts working right again, they appear to be swamped and bogging down.
