I keep showing the same pistol, but...
I won this for a $379 GB bid, NiB, last year. GI sights are too small for my middle-aged eyes. I was looking for a new or gently used 1911 with larger sights, and maybe a largish beavertail. Looking at the expired "sold" auctions that had at least a few bids, it looked like getting that done for $400 wouldn't be that hard. I kept my eyes open for a couple of weeks or so and scored the new RIA below. It's a good shooter and has given me zero problems.
Also within the past year or so I found this Citadel (made by RIA) 1911 in 9mm at my LGS and talked them down to $300 plus tax. I'm a preferred customer and it hadn't been moving for some reason. It also shoots well and has been trouble-free.
