WTB - First 1911

[frjeff]

Wanting to buy my first 1911.

Open to considering different brands and models, full-size only (not for carry).

Must be in very good condition.

I'm in Austin and willing to drive a bit for the right gun.
So, if you need $$ or are just thinning the collection, please let me know what you have.

Thanks,

[secure]

What is your budget? 1911's go from $500 to $5000.

To keep peace in the marriage, I'm looking at the lower end.

I know what it will cost for a new, lower-end unit; like a RIA Tactical for about $470 delivered ($430 + shipping + FFL).
But thought I might see what was out there in a used (but perhaps higher quality) gun in the same price neighborhood.
