I went insearch of another 1911/45acp for my collection. I found two RIA's in the used case for as much as
www.centerfiresystems.com/ sells them for more than new??? I think that centerfire has them listed for $379 and there marked used for $400. I did see a small colt 1911 in s/s that had all the bells and whistles for $550.(used) Another shop had everything used but nothing decent really caught my eye. The norm seems to be over $1,000 for a new 1911. I saved up some more cash and its burning a hole in my wallet for another 1911 but after a survey of most of them I'll have to save up some more. I may take a look at the colt again it was purdy too. But the RIA may make a cheap shooter/ beater too? Dam now i want both.....
What really impressed me today was the CZ75 in 9mm polished stainless she's a really purdy thing. But again its a $700 price tag too. There was a time when the CZ's were used for $230 to $300 tops in excellent condition with the orginal box and case plus the orginal papers too. In just three years from when i got my last CZ those times seem to be long gone now. There is everything else in the used case now but CZ's.
The bottomline is I have my C&RFFL03 and i need to find a dealer who will get what i want and i pay the dealer cost price and just pay a transfer fee of $25. I guess its time to shop smart.
