I have an opportunity to trade into a 1911-
This is a stainless Colt Commander slide (series 80) on an Essex frame. Everything is Colt except the frame and trigger-
My concern is the Essex frame- I would like to get into a 1911, and this seems like a good opportunity to do that but I don't want to buy (trade into) a gun that has a bad-quality frame. (In my research I have read a few negative comments on Essex frames)
Is there a way I can check out this gun to confirm good or bad about the frame?
Thanks!
