the range I go to has really nice looking 1974 series 70 Colt 1911 in used. looks to be lightly cusomized, mainly a reliability job (flared and lowered ejection port, throated feed ramp, etc...), a BoMar barrel, and adjustable sights. in essence, just the way i want it (ie: no beavertail, regular spur hammer, no front cocking serrations, non-ambi safety). it's got a very deep, shiny blue job, with very little apparent wear.
the price on it is $745.00 is this waaaayyy out of line? not bad? run away? what do you guys think? keep in mind that gun prices around the Detroit area tend to be a bit high compared to some of ya'll, but lower than, say, the PRK.
this would be my first 1911. and it would be used for carry and range shooting. I don't know of any IPSC or IDPA events around here, so it probably won't be used for that. and I'm planning on hard chroming it, just because. (insert "pimp gun" crack here )
