This time, were talking about two VERY specific handguns, and not the manufacturers as a whole.
The Springfield Armory for $475.
vs.
The Rock Island Armory for $400.
All things being equal here, which one is a better buy? The Springfield has a case with it, the R.I.A. has two eight round magazines. The Springfield has some scratches, the R.I.A. has a trigger job (see below).
The problem with that R.I.A.'s trigger job is this: The seller cannot produce any means to prove it had a professional trigger job. No receipt, and he didn't say WHO did it. For all I know it's something he did himself in his garage, which isn't something I'd give $400 for.
The Springfields only flaws are that it's scratched, and comes with two G.I. magazines as opposed to two eight round aftermarkets.
What do you guys think? Which is a better buy?
