i have seen folks on 1911forum getting them used for around $1,800 though
If you can find one at that price it's definately a great buy, a used one on GunBroker currently has a bid of $2400.

^^always overpriced on gunbroker LOL
gunbroker is a good reference though, just check the price on there, and assume the price is lower in the real world lol
PS slide to frame fit is the most overrated trait in 1911s IMHO. It translates to less the 10% of total accuracy but people treat it like it is the end all be all. It is a decent indicator of overall fit and finish but for my money barrel to slide fit in lock up is much more important to accuracy.
^^that's true. i've got a relative that's found some good deals on there too. they are few and far between, though, like you said
Accuracy is not the only consideration when looking at slide to frame fit. How long will the accuracy remain with a sloppy slide fit?
congrats on the python, best DA revolver trigger pull i've ever seen was on a python.
Yep, recently picked up a used, ANIB unfired LW full size operator for under $1k out the door. It's been nothing but rock solid.
I'm not talking about the rear view of the slide. I'm talking about the amount of play between the slide and frame rails.
