Paid $511.00 for my HK91 bought new on 1/13/1987.  Still have it.

The S&W burger ad is new to me, hilarious that they put Ruger grips on a piece of meat.

Norinco! I don’t know if I’ve seen that add before.

I have one. I think I paid $225 for it. Replaced everything except frame and slide. Still have the original Crome lined barrel packed with the 3k of wcc42 45 ball ammo I picked up.
Great pistol

I have one too.  I think I paid $225 for it as well.   Mine is still bone stock and is the .45 I shoot most.  I use it for Wild Bunch.

First thing I saw when I opened the thread was the Will County Sheriff's Dept. patch - that's where I used to prosecute and practice law.

My step father retired from Will County Sheriff Office. I grew up there. I have patches if you want one.

I remember that Norinco ad.

All the NRA bullseye shooters I knew growing up talked a bunch of shit about them being crap, but they actually were the best steel (5100) you could get in a 1911. They are an absolute bitch to machine if you work on one.

If I remember right, it more or less forced Colt to step up their game and get their low end models to feed JHPs, and to introduce the 1991A1 at a competitive price (maybe $100 more than the Norinco).

Have a P7M8 also. Bought 6/18/05. Not bragging, just happy to be smart once in a while. That 91 was a low price because I was a FFL at the time, bought from H&K in Chantilly, VA.

How many people did that have to go through before it went to print?

That's pretty ridiculous.

You're not carrying a round in the chamber are you?  Colt says that makes you a bad shooter!

Because if there's anything you want in a pistol, it's being useless at contact distances until the rocket has time to build up speed.

Same, although I think I paid closer to $300 in 1999.  My favorite handgun.  Lots of work, not many original parts left on it, ported barrel and slide.  Smiths have told me they really enjoy working on these.

Thanks, I was mainly curious about when that price point happened.

This shotgun news ad from 1985 shows them as $783.   That seems like a hell of a price jump.
