I have a Glock 21:
I was looking for a Springfield 1911 and a local guy wants to trade my G21 setup for this: 
It's a 1911 A1 with: Trijicon night sites serpa paddle holster 2 mags The original box And a few rusted Military mags My question is, is this a fair trade. I don't know what the 1911's are worth as this is would be my first one. Hopefully, soon, i'll pop my 1911 cherry TIA Will |

Probably fair. Looks like a nice NM ser# (USA assembled) SA Mil-Spec with a few goodies. It would sell as it is for about $500-550. Unfortunately, the extras do not increase the value. You're gonna hear plenty of crap about the rubber wraparounds, so be ready.
And, with all due respect....please get that picture of the Block out of the 1911 forum!! 
Good luck. |

I think it's fair, no one will make out better than the other and I think that's a good thing. Both are great guns.
I personally have a MilSpec very similar to that one that I have done some tinkering to and it's been 100% reliable even with me messing with it for almost 2,000 rounds. Mine is also a NM prefix MilSpec. I also have the Triji's on mine and they aren't the best looking sights but they sure work great. If you are willing to part with your G21, a MilSpec Springfield would not be a bad 1st 1911 at all. |
