SA 1911 Mil-Spec Final Post

[7.62mm.ak47]

Ok I'm getting it. A few of you told me to go to Bud's Gun Shop so I checked it out and $575 for the Mil-Spec (over the G.I.) model I think is a good deal. I don't really like the black plastic grips, any 1911 one's are interchangeable right? Also if anyone has experience with Bud's do you know how long it takes for them to restock an item? Thanks.

575 is a really good price. However you should be aware that buds doesn't update the price until they get a new batch in stock so that might not be the actual sale price.

thats what i thought but when you click reserve gun it commits you to the listed price

Yes, you can change out the grip panels in about 5 minutes.

does anyone know how much it is to transfer a gun to another gun shop where i can pick it up?

Depends on where you live. Most states have a list of FFL dealsers that you can ship the gun to and do the paper work.

You can go to www.gunbroker.com and by entering your zip code, find an ffl near you. Fees normally start around $25 and go up from there.

You'll have to pay shipping also, unless Bud's does free shipping.

Did you check Gunbroker for used 1911s. That's where I got mine. You can find pistols that have been hot rodded and whatnot including trigger work. I honed in on used Colts and Springfields and ended up with an SA Mil-Spec with a beavertail, skeletanized hammer and FO front sight. When I visited the gun at my local FFL yesterday, it seems to me like the trigger was worked on too because it felt pretty light. I can't wait to take it home. (I'm in Maryland's waiting period now). Anyway, don't discount used 1911s from reputable makers.
