I looked at it yesterday. Should've posted it I guess. I'll spend about $500 more than the most expensive one and have a $4,000 pistol when I'm done. Unless you really want a "war relic" they are asking too much, IMO.

Agreed. I was never comfortable shooting a 1911, was never very accurate. Enter the Glock 30 s, very manageable and I am accurate. No way I would dump that kind of money on a surplus 1911.

Maj Robert Thornton - Like I said, IF you just have to have one that (by serial number you could tell if it's the right age, but not prove that it was deployed) was in one of the wars I get it. Otherwise you can buy a Kimber or nice Springfield for just a touch more.
