price check 1991-a1

[ugly old guns]

Stainless steel 1991-a1 with old roll mark. Gov't model. plain black grips, series 80. They want 350.00. Am I about to get hosed?

[k217sc]

Unless it's inoperable, or horribly disfigured, it sounds like a good deal to me.

I have to agree with k217sc......if it's in decent shape....it's a very fair price

[OD*]

That is a very good price.

[daveohno]

I'd probably buy it, if it worked. Anything less than about $500 for a working, decent condition Colt is pretty good.

[elijdub]

+1 on above! Barring any major malfunctions/rust, etc, it sounds like a very good deal.
Can you post pics?

I can't remember what my blued one cost me from my discount dealer in Virginia... but it was WAY over $350.00/NIB!!! In ss, even if it's gently used... ESPECIALLY if it's NIB... GET IT!!! You're getting a Colt's for a a bargain basement price, and I'm WELL pleased with ALL my four Colts, including a USGI M1911 from 1918.

If you don't buy it, I will. I need to add some ORM's to my growing collection. :D

I agree.....Just make sure it hasn't been hack on by Bubba! :)

[tenx]

If it is in original configuration and condition is good that is an excellent price.

[KCboy]

sirs,

say the 1991a1 was black chromed, will it hurt the 1991a1 orm's value ???

[OD*]

It would to me, because Colt didn't produce them that way, others wouldn't be bothered by it at all. ;)

[KCboy]

thnaks for the info....guess nothing i could do anyore with my 1991a1, just enjoy it.

[OD*]

just enjoy it.
That says it all, Sir. ;)

[ugly old guns]

Well, I got it. It was used, but not abused. Came with one Colt marked mag, a Checkmate stainless. So far, have only put 100 rounds of Blazer Brass 230 Grain FMJ through it, but, WOW! Firing this thing is a religious experience compared to my Steyr m40-a1 in .40. I'll get a pic up soon. Thanks for all the help, guys. Any thoughts on using it as a CCW?

[golfdom1987]

That's a steal. Buy it before somebody else does.

Contrats! Let's see some pics :D!

Absolutely! IMO, a Colt is the very best CCW, Gov't model or otherwise.

[tombstone]

I think it's waaaay over priced, and you should avoid it at all cost....now just so I don't stumble into some gun shop and get the same Coltitus attack, tell me where this overpriced Colt is, so I can avoid it? :D

[Brian D.]

Amazing that this gun took as long as it did to be sold.

[jeff1124]

I think you stole it, ugly old guns! Welcome to Coltdom!!:D

[Morrisey]

Obey the Gunny:

Not too sure about the SA grips. I have properly disassembled , oiled, and cleaned her, and Bubba has been nowhere near this thing. Wat'cha think? It was originally 449.00 used at Cabela's in St. louis. I got it the day they marked it down to 349.00. It was so dirty, I don't think they thought it was worth that. Yahoo!

[jeff1124]

I think you did very well! Make sure all functions check out, lube her up, and go shoot it! :D

+1! Great buy! Lookin' forward to a report!

[tenx]

Heck of a deal. That is a good find.
Now we have to have a range report.

[twin oaks]

I feel sorry for you that you got 'taken' by such a pistol. It's ugly as sin. And since I'm a generous, nice, helpful person, I'll reimburse you your money, throw in another five for your troubles, and pay shipping if you'll send it this way.:D I mean look at it, the grip screws aren't even lined up the same!!!!!

[daveohno]

For the price you paid, you can buy some nice stocks for that pistol and use those Springer stocks for range time!

[daveohno]

I agree.....Just make sure it hasn't been hack on by Bubba! :)


Bubba needs luv, too! :D
