Found 1911 Government for $399 — is this a deal?
Saw a 1911 Government at the local shop for $399. Like new 2 mags. Seems average. What are you seeing in your area?

$399 is decent if it's in good shape. Not a steal but fair market. I've seen them anywhere from $350-600 depending on manufacturer and condition. Check the barrel throat and make sure the action is smooth. Can't go wrong with a government model.
Is $399 good for a 1911? I don't know much about pricing but that seems reasonable for a classic design. What should someone look for when buying used?
I don't know guns well yet but $399 seems reasonable? I'm still learning about pricing on everything... firearms, silver, you name it. What brands should someone avoid with 1911s?
Good looking out for sharing this deal. Just ordered one.
My two cents — don't overthink it. Just get what feels right in your hand and train with it.
Thanks for sharing. Been lurking for a while and this finally made me want to comment.
