RAI 1911 used price check?

**freddy g** · January 25th, 2012, 07:26 PM

well like the title says,i was wondering what a nice (not like new but used)RAI 1911 GI is worth,the guy wants $299 and i am real tempted to jump on it,just wondering what you guys thought.

(actually i was hopeing you guys would justify me buying another gun that i don't really need)

Sounds good to me. I'm getting a RIA Tactical this weekend for $360, so $300 for a GI is on same line. I say go for it.

They go for about $420-$440 new, so $299 seems decent if it's in good shape. You won't be disappointed, RIA's are incredible and best bang for your buck by a longshot for a 1911. I own two currently and have never had a problem.
Good luck, and as I'm sure you know, it's not about "need" it's always about "want"

I stopped telling my wife when I buy guns years ago ! Only time I need to tell her is if I buy a C&R or one from CMP - lol. Good luck! Buy her somthing nice on the way back from the gun shop.

freddy g you want us guys to justify why you should not get another gun you don't need. Really thats like letting the fox into the chicken coop , At that price i be jumping in face first if condition is good!
