WTB RIA (Rock Island) 1911 used
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 10:06 pm
OK, I have gotten permission to evaluate buying a 1911. I have fallen in love with them and want one of my own. It will be my primary daily CC weapon (I have a CHL and am in the Dallas/Fort Worth area) and from my research the RIA 1911's are an inexpensive go bang every time gun with everything that I am looking for.
I dont have a lot of money and the "cheapest" new one I can find is in the mid 300's, so I was hoping to find one in the 200's used (but in good shape). I am not looking to impress anyone (function over form) with it, but want a "go bang everytime" tool that will serve me reliably.
I know most of the folks on here will not do this, but please keep the "are you crazy" and "lots of luck" type comments to yourself. I know that there are awesome 1911's out there in the 2k range with averages for kimbers, etc in the 900 range. I get it, I really do. This is my reality. I am not going to get a $500+ gun, it just aint gonna happen.
Now, if someone has an old 1911 Rock Island laying around (and I know its almost insulting to think this of a great gun like this) that they can let go for in the 200's, please email me at dewayneward1972@gmail.com
thank you!
