PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.


 
This is an old thread. You can't post a reply in it. It is left here for historical reasons.Why don't you create a new thread instead?

Welcome to the forum, the Gunsite was my first Colt semi auto.
1000 dollars is a good price if it's really like new.

Welcome to the forum, cwm. I think $1,000 would be a good price even if it weren't like new. There doesn't seem to be many out there, can't get 'em any more, and they're supposed to be pretty fine pistols. Nice! Be sure to post pictures when you get it.

That's a good price for a Gunsite. Either jump on it or let me know where it is.

well I picked it up. $997+tax. It appears it has'nt been fired sense it left the factory! Got everything down to the trigger guard tag and the plastic bag it was packaged in.I'm not a collector,is there any reason I should not shoot it? Was it a "real limited" edition? What do you think of the mim chip McCormick hammer and sear?
