Estate sale find: 1911 Government for $351
Hit an estate sale Sunday and found a 1911 Government for $280. Priced to move. Also grabbed old ammo.
Do you check estate sales? Deals can be unreal.

Estate sales are gold mines if you get there early. I've picked up inventory at sales for pennies on the dollar. That 1911 price is what I'd pay wholesale if it's functional. Just make sure the paperwork is straight - some estate sale people don't know the transfer requirements. Been burned on that before in Illinois.
Nice find! $280 for a Government model is solid if it's in decent shape. I hit estate sales when I can but they're hit or miss around DFW. Found a beat up S&W Model 10 for $150 last year but that's about it. The ammo deals at estate sales can be crazy good though - old timers hoarded the good stuff when it was cheap.
I'd love to see some photos if you get a chance to post them.
Can you share more details on your setup? I'm trying to decide between a few options right now.
Great info here. Bookmarking this thread for later.
