Looking to get a 1911. Here are two buys I could do but I am still looking also. Which would you go for?
2 - Colt 1991a1 about the same age I believe (5-10 years since purchased new) with 200 rounds of ammo and a holster (unknown brand). Both with minor wear at most and factory box/paper work. - $1400.00 (two guys I work with trying to sale at same time.) 1- Springfield TRP Operator NIB. - $1500.00 |
| A brand new 1991 series is only in the 800 range - so 1400 is way too much. Call me biased (I do not deny spring fields are good guns) but a classic American design needs to be made in America. As a result I won't own a Springfield ( made whole or in part in Brazil) |

I want something I can immediately start practicing with and soon after EDC. Plus I think I would like to start with something nicer so I know what to work toward on a build. |
