Very nice gun for the $$$$.....thats normal gunshop price you can do a little better online if you want to wait a little but your net savings may not be worth it to you ? I wouldnt have any problem paying $800 otd and if your looking for a fixed rear sight john harrison makes a great alternative for them. The range officer is a well made gun and fit very good for the monrey. Let us know what you decide.

Mine has been just an excellent gun since right out of the box. I did add a mag well and VZ grips, just stuff that I prefer and now I have the sights set where they need to be I have take all the proper measurements to add a fixed rear sight and get the proper height front sight to give me the same results. That price, although isn't bad for what your buying, you should be able to beat that. I gave 700.00 for mine NIB. Buds has them right now for $730.00 with free shipping.

I have one, they are very nice guns, mine ran fine straight from the box, you should be able to do a little better on price.

Very nice. Mine may be the most accurate pistol in the safe. Excellent value for the money. $799 is the going rate. A bit less at the shows.

I like mine. Its accurate. Don't care for target sights so i changed mine out to a Heinie EZ lock.
Good price of around $740 from buds. |

It's a great 1911 for the money. I like mines and it'll feed and shoot every different type of reload throw at it. Like poster above, I to didn't care for the target sights so I swapped mines out for Dawson FO front and Harrison rear.

My gf gifted me a $200 gander mountain gift card for the holidays and I've been waiting to use it. Unfortunately I'm tied into the $800 price, which will be $600 with the card. If anyone has anything else to say please post. I'll be making my final decision soon enough. |

Great gun, just bought one. Very smooth. Parkerized finish is silly, it scratches at the drop of a hat. Rear sight is also hateful, but thats changed easily enough.

IMHO, you won't find a better gun for the money.

I may consider changing out the front sight for something more vibrant. Perhaps a fiber optic sight of some sort. I dig the rear all black etched target sight tho.

Are you looking at the 45 or 9? When people don't specify I assume they are talking about the 45.

Yes the .45 They seem great for the money. I think I'm going to order one sight unseen just from what I've read and watched on them. For 100 bucks more than a mil spec it's tough to turn down. |

It's a shooter right out of the box. Accurate as they come. You can do better than $800 though.
