Is $650 a good price for a 1996 Springfield 1911-A1? In nice shape?
Local shop has one and I don't hav a 1911 eTA. It's parked |

Quoted:
Can't buy them new in the commie state of MA. They are hard to find, but since it doesn't look like a good deal, I will just live without a 1911 Well that does change the value then. I say if you want it buy it, even if you happen to overpay a bit ( and I am not saying you would be ). I bet there is not one person on this board who has not overpaid for a gun at one time or another. |

If banned by name and you have other 1911 choices, bad deal. If by type and there are no new 1911s available, then actually not a bad deal at all probably. |

Just dealers can not sell any new handgun unless it meets MA bullshit requirements or was registered in state before 1998. Only new 1911s for sale by dealers are S&W, Remington, some older ones are seen now and then like norinco and some others. I just thought Sringfield might be a high quality 1911, I don't know anything about them. I'm a used glock guy. |

why cant they be bought new in MA? Only handguns that dealers can transfer are controlled are on a list, that also des not include new glocks. It would take 40 ages to explain the communist regs controlled by the state AG, under consumer protection rules. |

Does it have Brazil on it?  So does Imbel and they are as good as FNs. 650 is way too high for a stock, used SA 1911. It would be the going rate for a loaded version with night sights, used in good shape. Also, note that some of them are missing the additional radii cut on the front strap and dust cover. It makes them feel bad in the hand and not fit some holsters, well. |

I guess it may be the going rate, there. SA pistols are gtg, with the exception of the previously mentioned shortcut on pistols around the era you're talking about. |

The Springfields (in my opinion) don't have much cost/value ratio until you get into the loaded models, and even then it's not particularly high. The TRP I think is an excellent cost/value ratio, but is twice the price. |
