Seeking Advice on Buying Used 1911's
I have the opportunity to buy a series I Kimber Royal Custom that the former owner claimed had never been fired. To me it looks like it's not been fired but I'm no expert. Anyway, what should I look for in assessing the gun. The slide is very smooth, safeties function as they should.
The only thing that sticks in my mind is that there seems to be a little "hesitation" in the trigger when releasing it after pulling the trigger, the amount of travel when re-setting feels normal it just hesitates a fraction of a second. Thanks in advance!
