Wife wants to trade her G26 for a 1991A1
OK, all you Glock guys and 1911 guys . . . after firing a 1911 for the first time a couple of years ago, my wife has fallen in love with the 1911 concept. She's a decent shot with her Glock, but she tore the X-ring out of the target with the 1911. She's extremely competent and an excellent shooter, so I'm satisfied that she can handle one safely and well.
She REALLY likes the Commander-sized Colt 1991A1 (specifically)--not just any commander-sized 1911, but THAT one. Here's my question--since these things are no longer in production, what is a fair price for one? Should we just haunt gun shows looking for one, or can a dealer order them from somewhere?
Second question--finances are tight, so my wife wants to finance this by selling/trading her Glock. How much should she ask for a Glock 26 in excellent condition (~500 rounds through it?) with Trijicon sights (1997), a new Gould & Goodrich paddle holster, the standard 2 10-rounders, and a preban 15-rd Glock 19 magazine? We have the original box, all instructions, etc. (We really haven't a clue.)
Thanks for the help!!
