I'm looking at 2 Colt 1911s previously used in competition:
Hardball: Colt frame (Series 70?), Colt National Match slide, barrel and barrel bushing. "kensights" adj. sights.
Wadcutter: Colt (GI, commercial) frame and slide, National Match barrel and bushing, Bomar adj. sights.
Both are ~30 years old and look like it - minor surface scratches and fair amount of holster wear. No rust or pitting. Everything is tight on both.
Seller is asking $600 each.
I'd like these, but at a price I could resell without losing my shorts.
I'd appreciate any thoughts regarding the wisdom of purchasing either or both, realizing the paucity of info I've given.
These wouldn't be my first Colt 1911s, and I believe they are solid pistols.
Thanks in advance!
